Update 09/02/09

The day began with a furious rally to close yesterday's gap down open. Once the gap was closed, the markets reversed in a hairpin turn and proceeded to crash for the rest of the session. The bear market rally appears to be done, and if that's the case, market dynamics will reverse. Instead of furious rallies with shallow pullbacks, be prepared for relentless selling with sideways bounces.

We lost several long positions: AUY (bought today), UYG and SRZ, but our short positions really blossomed. We also bought ARIA.
