It was a violation of my normal approach but from time to time enough signals come along that justify jumping the gun and getting out a few percentage points higher:
- the market was up sharply during the day then gave it all back, dropping to about break-even (at which point I took profits in all open positions except one in Japan); this was essentially a key reversal, where the market made a new relative high then closed lower;
- volume was very heavy, indicating distribution;
- the recent run-up was relatively unbroken and strong; I always get nervous when the market goes my way too quickly and easily for too long... when some get the idea of heading for the exits, everyone will and that is where they will find the bodies.
Of course, it's possible the market will turn higher and I will regret having sold, but if so, I can always re-enter, even if at a worse price. For now, it's been a nice run and we are entering a period of seasonal weakness.
Howdy! I simply wish to give you a big thumbs up for your excellent information you've got here on this post. I'll be coming back to your website for more soon.

I don't write a leave a response, however after looking at through a few of the comments on "S&P 500 looking toppy - took profits today midday". I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's okay.
ReplyDeleteCould it be only me or does it look like a few of these comments come across like they are written by brain dead folks?

Getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals is important because it
will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. One mistake that people
who want to build muscles quickly but have no information is the lack of information regarding
how much they should eat in order to grow muscles.
