  Another week of schellacking for long only strategies.  The market took a bath this week, led by materials and tech, which until Thursday morning made up about 2/3 of my portfolio.  I was playing buy the dip, it obviously didn’t work.  My cash position at the open on Thursday was south of 5%, I loaded [...]

  The market has gone absolutely nowhere in over a month, oscillating around a rising 20 day moving average.  While the broader indices continue to churn, some excellent setups to both the long and short side have revealed themselves.  Instead instead of focusing on the direction of the overall market tonight, below are a bunch of the best [...]
