Monday thoughts

422
took half of TZA off for 1.6% profit in 2 hours

411
tza up nicely afterhours here

411
AAPL short scalp was a dud again, not even worth a soda, but i'll continue to short scalp aapl,,,i expect a block sell on it at some point intraday, so keep trying

401
heres the 1377 test on ES, watching what it does here now

358
tza has high enough vol to trade afterhours,,will see what es and tza do, esp 4pm--415pm

356
will sell 25% of tza at 1377 ES,,,,usually dont use ES to sell IWM but using scalp signal es

350
stopp tightend on 25% of tza here, near 1% gain from entry today

346
81% sugggests 1377 test,,,if that breaks may see more selling

345
81%a

338
if ES hits 1377 in next 5-10 mion, may see harder selling

337
might even hold some of this new tza overnite,,"IF" that tza daily breakout (IWN daily breakdown) is real and holds ,,, v bearish, for lower lows es russell, and higher tza

328
78% sell on es into 415pm timeframe

309
SJM still shortable for swings at this price, imo,, i am holding it

309
tza 19.20 bought

302
shorting ES here could work, 1382, scalp

300
72% sell on ES here 1382

1126
ES in danger of breaking support here, to lower daily lows

1113
took aapl short scalp / quick swing here 636 / 635.50,,diff than long term swing hold multiweeks months

1101
sjm  ann  abt all still shortable swing at these prices

1057
,exited first half early but still holding remaining half for now,

1057
VHC continues to show strength, up 2.52% vs ES sp500 down 1%

952
short in ANN and ABT both outperforming SJM short, but SJM may catch up to them later, holding all for now

948
took small 1% profit on half of VHC long this morning, holding other half, more to reduce risk than take profit

939
trying to cover ANN 2660 if able, last 2751,,,may need to cover shorts higher, but waiting a bit now

936
ANN moving down, VHC moving up ,,watching if that continues, seems too good to be true

587
1387 ES may present a short opp on ES, depending on what charts look like,,,,1388. 1393. 1398 are ES resist zones, watching to see if it only tests the lower ones or tries for higher

855
es down 15 points, but it is at support area here (prior breakout point higher on 3/2 and 3/13,,,so watching reactions first hour

853
if es rallys, (its down 15 points now) initially makes sense to short rally imo,,,,without any new positions first hour

843
for shorts. i may only take off half of the shorts, and let the other half ride awhile, will watch the open.

842
obviously shorts are doing well this morning, via ERY  SJM  ABT  ANN,,, for VHC long hedge, I'm removing the protective stop for now, to see what it does at the open.
