Update 10/30/09

After a weeklong drop, the market roared back today, recovering much lost ground and closing at the highs. This was no sideways straggle but a sharp impulsive move that can resolve as either a last-gasp type of counter trend rally (i.e., wave 2) or the beginning of the next leg up, potentially to new recovery highs. Another wide-ranging up day tomorrow, especially with a strong close, would favor the latter. Given the way the Russell 2000 has broken down, however, I put more stock in the former scenario.

Sold today were EEV, SRS and DXD, the latter two for losses.
