I realize on a day like this, it may seem the height of insanity to suggest shorting anything, but my raison d’etre persists.

Well, we’ve crossed 15,000 on the Dow and 1,600 on the S&P. The bulls are understandably thrilled.
I’ve been quiet this morning. One might assume I’ve been hiding under my bedsheets. Tempting as that is, I’ve actually been busily getting my family dispatched to various and sundry transportation depots; I’ll be joining them this afternoon after the markets close.
I’m not going to be very prolific today (unlike yesterday, when I was cranking out posts left and right), but I’m going to publish my “big post” late this afternoon, after I give people a while to get sloshed at the virtual bar.
Hang in there, everyone, and congratulations to the bulls. You guys are buying drinks tonight.
