About market, TAPE went to new lows before turning higher than previous close, this is a very encouraging pattern from technical point of view. Many high beta  technology stocks have taken rest and have pulled back to find support. Solar was the wild card today, thanks to solar eclipse, which shut down solar panels, First Solar gave some explanation, but left many confused. Hopefully, we have seen and tested the lows for now.

Hi Saleem,

Sold TZA @ 17.91

I've been chasing this down most of the morning--I guess I should have just slammed it through first thing.

I think the small caps have felt enough pain for now and most people are positioned against them. I think it shifts the risk/reward in their favor (and against the TZA).
