Rally Sustainable It Seems

Sifting through the entirety of my watchlist this weekend gives me the impression that this current rally has legs. It would have served me better to have come to that conclusion sooner as my bearish bias worked against me last week. Such is life. Retail in particular looks set for a potentially substantive bounce. My top market tell, the financials, have also stopped falling.

Sometimes it's hard to admit your wrong. It's taken me longer than it should to admit I'm now swimming against the tide. Having now acknowledged my poor positioning I will act decisively to preserve capital. Live to fight another day. It's important to keep in mind that my best trades are ahead of me and the number one priority is to stay in the game.

Having said all that I'm not really looking to get long. More than likely I will scale back and wait. This bear market is not going to end anytime soon.
