The market's true direction will be unveiled over this week and next, as earnings tumble in, but in the meantime, I'm either taking some profits or tightening up my stops for safety's sake. I took my Russell puts off the table early in the market day when the IWM was at 68.45. The momentum of the market seems to be dying, but judging from recent history, a bounce is a definite possibility.
