Filed under predictable... QQQQ

Predictable due to bull momentum and a pump to get retail back aboard, and predictable due to my very spotty history in shorting the market. 

The chart shows my tolerance level being pierced.  It will need a weekly close to become a real signal, but since I mentioned the trade on the blog (short the Cube, and SPY too btw), I am noting the tolerance level once again. 

The topic may not be mentioned again, but if the condition persists you will know that I covered these shorts at losses, currently around 5% on inverse ETFs, and 2+% and 1+% on straight short positions.

Risk will be managed through cash levels and/or strategic short positions, as I continue to hold many long positions, focused obviously in the gold sector.  As it stands, they are not going to shake me out just yet.
