Better than a short-only stick in the eye at least.
This week laggards were storming higher, especially in terms of relative strength, and my individual shorts (being of the laggard variety) have thus cost more than longs have risen. Certain ULTA's and other highlights have kept me off suicide watch, but this week (and last) have taught me you're never too old to get out of tune and discipline commands continuous effort.
All of this is exhausting (the losing part), which is much of why I've kept quiet on this page. The other reason is that I am (still!) mixed on the outlook, and not overly interested to comment.
