I rarely use Fibonacci Arcs, but on occasion they do some cool things; earlier this quarter, I pointed out the failure on the arc pattern (green tint); pretty interesting to see what took place since then!

Exxxxxcellent
I am absolutely THRILLED about how today went. Let me recount my day for you, to set the stage:
- As you know, a few days ago, I slipped off my well-worn bear suit and went bullish;
- Therefore, I had gone long GUSH (triple-bullish on energy companies), FAS (triple-bullish on financials) and very, very short on bonds (by way of a TLT short and long TLT puts).
- Today’s opening absolutely sucked for me. My short bond position created a 0.5% loss in my overall portfolio. I dumped it at a loss.
- I vacillated quite a lot about shorting today. I covered my 4 shorts. Then I entered a few more. Then I finally just threw my hands up and covered everything and re-shorted a huge TLT position.
- I also did some day trading in SPY (profitably).

I’m out. I’m done. I’m flat.
Well, almost. I decided to quit messing around with ANY remaining shorts since I keep stating how deeply oversold things remain. Why have shorts just for the sake of getting stopped out?

The Dirtiest Dozen
Even though I believe we’re in for more big “up” days similar to yesterday in the near future, I have preserved a small stable of short positions whose patterns are still good enough to keep (at least until such time as they may be stopped out). I therefore offer you my tiny gallery of twelve remaining shorts:
