Yesterday's market rally left me feeling I should have put some buy-stops in place to get back-in- But fortunately - my indecisiveness proved to work in my favor with today's large whipsaw market sell-off-
"Dow tanks 800 points in worst day of 2019 after bond market sends recession warning". " its worst percentage drop of the year and fourth-largest point drop of all time "
I think this type of knee jerk volatility tells us that the markets were poised to sell-regardless-Markets rallied because the tariff increase was delayed a few months- and the yield curve inverted suggesting a recession will be in our future- potentially distant future- as it is not an immediate omen- Note this article:
www.cnbc.com/2019/08/14/stock-markets-wall-street-in-focus-amid-earnings-economic-data.html Particularly the part where markets indeed have rallied after an inversion- and a recession eventually followed....6 mos to 2 years later.....
Today's price action supported short positions------

Sd,
Dow closes 800 points lower in worst day of 2019 different feel when you watch closely and I have pulse to the markets. A repeat pattern intraday on the 5 min chart was doji and bounce then lower lows... happened a few times. I got stopped out of NTAP for a 1+ loss which I made the position the day before if I held and hopped it would have ballooned into a much bigger one, actually got out TLRY early in the morning before they reported for a profit as it was crushed today. I bought some puts DIA stopped out 2 for small loss early went back in different strike did not move as I would have liked but did get out with profit. I'm not looking to hold anything overnight either way. Be nimble out their guys, don't be a hero's.

Thursday AM- I'm buying the market here-investment positioning- averaging back in from a 100% cash position- Approx 35% in -as of 10:00 am and now on hold-
Wide Mix of ETFs - some getting beat up here- but with plenty of potential for further downside- vanguard Factor funds -which I added some back- are still heading lower-

SD,
Something happened around 10:15 A.M. big spike in price out of nowhere with the DIA and it had volume behind it as well. I took a hit on my UVXY, one of those d**n weeks where you be better off just waiting and watching and sticking to the watch list setups if they materialize or not.

That's why I usually don't jump in to the short side- too easy for the reaction to reverse- and be a wide % swing -at least that seems to be the norm-
I was tempted to short the Russell , but held back- It reacted and gained 2% . Been bit hard in the past thinking the Sky is Falling- and all for nothing- just political hype that gets absorbed by the markets and miraculously corrects hard back to the long side. The predominant trend is still to the upside- until it fails.
