Hey Saleem,

It is pretty stunning that we can be this much down again after losing 300+ yesterday. Poor action for sure...

I am really tempted to add to CRUS and may do so tomorrow morning with the one cash position I have left.

Hi Stocktrader,

I am not surprised by down move today....after a major breakdown it takes few days to find real support....DOW & NASDAQ are below 200 DMA...that is where S&P 500 may be headed eventually....

About adding more CRUS...it depends on your comfort level.

Hey Saleem,

I figured tomorrow would be the oversold bounce day, so I wanted the exposure upfront. I'm always afraid good stocks will get an upgrade and I'll miss out on 2% early. Plus, I wonder if AAPL will get some positive analyst comments or announce shareholder friendly moves which could impact positively the AAPL-halo stocks.

The TZA did well today obviously, but I'm not yet sure if it's the right amount or how long I'll be able to stand holding it, besides the fact that I have a history of starting the hedge right near market bottoms!

Hi Stocktrader,

I think there is another down day on Friday...we may improve by close...that is my educated guess....

SO based on that you should have 1.5day of TZA bonanza $$$$$

Do not overstay your welcome with TZA family.
