Lost my shape-Trying to act casual! Can’t stop-I might end up in the hospital
I’m changing my shape-I feel like an accident They’re back!-To explain their experience
Isn’t it weird/Looks too obscure to me Wasting away/And that was their policy
I was heartened by yesterday’s market action (although, ironically, none other than Emperor Palpatine Carl Icahn was the one we have to thank).
This morning, I was watching the NQ do its surge, and the chartist in me said “This is the most retard-obvious trade in the world. That horizontal is a lead wall. Short the QQQ and set your stop just above that line.” Well, I didn’t. Because the guy that’s been face-punched for five years was too afraid to jump in.
This is not to say that I’m so scared that I’m all in cash. Far from it. I have 95 short positions right now with an 80% commitment level (that is to say, 20% in cash) and, as I’m typing this, I’m in the green, in spite of the Russell being up by a fifth of a percentage point.
There’s obviously nothing actionable in this post. I just want to say that, to quote my peer Corey Rosenbloom, if you feel “afraid to trade” these days, you’re not the only one.
