Market Short Positions Update


Updating our short positions & repurchase attempts from October 29th.

We now hold 3 positions in VXX, 3 in TZA and 1 in QID.

We had one position in TNA, sold earlier this morning for a gain of 19% in 9 days.  

Posted October 29: "We expect markets to bounce for 1-3 weeks before the next major leg down."

Major indexes posted a low that day, and the bounce is midway through the 1-3 weeks and likely near or already at its apex with respect to points.

The DJIA has rallied 2055 points since its October 29 low, or 8.5%



Our buy or sell orders are as follows...

Repurchased:

QID (1st position) repurchased at $41.30 - originally sold for a gain of 25% in two months.

VXX (3rd position) repurchased at $33.50 - sold previously for a 20% gain in 4 months.  We also scored a gain of 100% on this 3rd VXX position in one month earlier this year. 


Buy Limits:

QID (2nd position) buy at $37.90 - sold last month for a 13% gain in two days. 

VXX (4th position) buy at $31.00 - sold last month for a gain of 22% in a month.

VXX (5th position) buy at $29.50 - sold last month for a gain of 17% in two weeks.

TZA (4th position) buy at $9.75 - sold last month for a gain of 22% in a month.

TZA (5th position) buy at $9.40 - sold last month for a gain of 47% in in two months


Equities overall are now moderately overbought on a short term basis while remaining massively overbought, overvalued and overbelieved in the intermediate and longer term.
