Uptick Rule is Back? Shorts are burned in anticipation. FXI, DIA, SPX, QQQQ, CZX.v, LUN.to, FCX, TNR.v, CUU.v,


Our "Stupidity and Corruption" monitor is coming back from overheat levels to more acceptable for modern democracies or falling apart Empires for that matter.


It took them a while, almost 6500 points in DOW to be more precise. Now we can be sure that those who was shorting American Dream into the ground have covered their shorts and went long at least for a while.

Cover your shorts, sell Puts, Luck will be on the long side.

VIX and VXN are hitting highs at August level or higher. 75 point cut and PPT will try hard to turn the market now. Looks like capitulation to me, some juniors are moving higher already. Once world will realise that the End of the World is postponed, flood of liquidity will rise commodity boats and PGM again.
