03/02

Market was still strong today, it get back most loss in the morning.

IWM put/call ratio almost 20:1. Are people nervous or just over-bearish?

Bears failed to gain traction once again, even as oil and long-term rates rose. I expect stocks to make another push higher soon on another round of short-covering.

Cut lose, and let winners run!

1. when you have a lose trade, or you feel something wrong, get out! Admit you're wrong, and you have lot of other opportunities to get your loss back.

2. Somebody recommends that cut your lose when it > $100

3. cut lose and stay in the game!
