Subsequently I'm pulling in further today, reducing exposure and positioned now slightly net-short. The net-short stance is for reasons of 1.) Market pressure is accelerating, leadership is getting hit harder now than the major averages and internals on the day are not suggesting much possibility for great improvement here and now (as in today). And 2.) Being a little a little short here gives me a better ability to buy leadership at new entry points; perhaps lower, but not necessarily.
But my main ambition at present is to get smaller and see what develops; see if this is more of a healthy pullback within a larger bull market...or something worse.
I aim to remain 1-step behind this market; which has served well the last couple of years, or since the market's highs.
