Market Update Email 3-5-09

Subject: Quick Market Update - Taking some profits

Just wanted to let you all know that I am taking some profits on my shorts. I still think we will see lower lows, but I am also expecting that decent bounce I have been talking about, therefore I am going to a more cash stance for now until I am able to do some more research. Currently that bounce can run as high as $775 when it does occur, but I doubt it will have that much steam. Theres a few things I must figure our first including the VIX, put/call, and relative strength of the nasdaq 100.

Im still bearish, but being the aggressive trader that I am, taking some money off the table seems like the smart money management thing to do. So, wait and see mode it is for me. I am still holding some shorts, but have closed all of my put options on the market. The one regret I may have is if this market crashes, which the VIX and Put/Call are certainly supporting right now, but I would rather miss out on that than risk my profits of the last 2 months. Besides, I am banking on that next opportunity in a week or two.

Just trying to do some money mangement for now. Send me individual questions if you have any.
Good luck.
