It help our trading a lot. We then started shorting and hopefully that is the correct move. 2nd quarter earnings season will soon start and i expect MAJOR DOWNWARD revisions in forward earning guidance. That should be a nice reality check for diehard market bulls. I also believe that the FED is stuck in tighting mode. They are a year to late in getting into raising rates. And as is usual with those pompous doctoria pricks they will overtighten, Which means we have 2 years of FED FUCKUP fun in front of us….
