For those that do not know what that means, it means that it is time to raise cash by selling down some of our longs. We recently have gone long quite a few stocks that have performed very well. Some of you made the right decision and took a lot of profits when some were up 20% to 50%. That was very smart. I did take some profits but with my larger holdings I was trying to hold for some powerful gains, thinking that volume still might enter the market to the upside as funds went back to work so they would not show underperformance.

Instead it looks like they are starting to return as sellers and with all the indexes reversing or failing right at the 200 day moving average it appears that the 50 and 200 DMA’s will be resistance for the market that the funds will use to sell into. I pray that I am wrong and that tomorrow we are up a lot so that we can resume the uptrend with our longs. However, I am not wishy-washy and know when it is time to pair back my positions. After today, it is time.
