We saw the second straight day of weakness, but guess what, there is no technical damage whatsoever on the SPX daily chart.

That is a problem because we could just as easily bounce tomorrow. Also worth considering is the fact that this is the first time we seen two consecutive down days since 10/30-31. However this bull run has been so strong that we haven’t see a sell-off in excess of two days since September. So a third down day tomorrow may be difficult to pull-off, but of course not impossible. 

I am stacked 20% short and 10% long right now, with profits in all three. I am currently holding short FFIV from $84.05 with about $480 in gains, and MGM from  $19.27 with $720 in profits. CHS is nearing my stop-loss which I am long from 17.30. Currently I am holding $972 in gains in it. My portfolio is nimble enough to be able to flip long if necessary tomorrow or pile on new short positions too.
