Hold signals.

Pretty boring day. JTS remains short, CCI remains long. JT Composite will hold tight in cash. I will do the same. Thanks!

100% Cash

CCI moves to a long position while JTS remains short. JT Comp moves to all cash and I'm right there with it. Exiting TZA... Thanks!

Hold signals.

The JTS and CCI maintain their short positions as the melt up continues. So far I've been spared much damage due to the under-performance of small caps today. With my luck, that won't last... If you're into the market and have a pulse, you already know tomorrow is a FOMC day. This may be the bears' only chance at derailing the rally, if only temporarily. Typically the market performs relatively worse if the day before a Fed day (today) finishes strong. We'll see. I will remain 50% long TZA. Thanks!

Hold signals...And I'm back!

I've watched the market too much today looking for the perfect entry point to short.  (I will not let this become a routine habit.)  I'd much prefer doing something useful with my time. At any rate, I'm back in the game and I'm officially 50% short.   Earlier today I bought a large chunk of TZA, but I don't have the guts to go 100% short right now like the JT Comp.  There's just too much momentum, too much liquidity, and too much positive end of Jan. seasonality.   So, I'm keeping 50% safe in cash.  

Here is my prediction after some serious research the last few days.  The markets are so overbought that I expect a dip this week of 30-40 SPX points. (Let's  target ~1470 at a minimum...)  I also expect that dip to be aggressively bought.  So being nimble will be the name of the game.  If I can get out with a decent profit for my first trade of the year, I'll take it...

Glad to be back!! Take care!

Position: Long TZA 10.98

Holding...

Nothing new again today. Eventually the market is going to pullback - at least a little. I'm very excited to be getting back in the game Monday! I will not hesitate to go heavily short right off the bat, especially if I can get a good entry. Take care and have a great weekend! J

Hold shorts.

Nothing new today with the systems. All systems remain 100% short SPXL. Thanks! J

Hold: 100% Short.

All systems remain short, in fact the CCI system is issuing a fresh short signal - which is slightly encouraging. As luck would have it, SPXL is unfortunately outperforming TNA today. Take it easy!
