The equity markets are surging higher this morning, I have almost nothing but short positions, and I think it’s great. Why? Well, because the markets are behaving in a completely chart-friendly manner, and the 23.6% retracement level I warned premium members about yesterday did a picture-perfect job calling for a bounce, which is why I covered my largest position, my IEFA short. There’s no doubt I’m going to see my positions weaken substantially at the open. It doesn’t matter, because the charts are behaving beautifully, and that’s really what I’m after. Plus, I have a ton of free cash available.
