Tuesday: Change of Order to Short
We will increase our initial order to short from 8560 to 8650. The Dow is now 8525, with a high of 8548. It has been hovering at this level for the last 12 hours, making it unlikely for this to be the peak. Whilst it may turn without a spike (as the NIFTY did today), it is safer to factor in the spike up which would take out a few extra bears. Using our 2% safety factor on yesterdays close would take us to 8690 - hence our order to short at 8650. Our indicators (which were wrong yesterday) again point to a down day. It is riskier to short than to long in the big picture in our opinion - so any shorts here should be a short term play.

We wrote in August 2010 that we were shorting Australian Retail - that the "good times" won't last forever. Going to shopping centres back then, one would not be aware that the world just went through GFC a year or so ago. Australia was "insulated" from the outside world as people continued to spend.

Another good day for Netflix - up more than 14% when we looked. Order to close HALF our Netflix holdings at $120. That's the minimum target for our long as the gap closes. Invariably, it will overshoot that mark. Our personal Netflix holdings are in at $67 - Taking half off the table at $120 will mean the rest of ... continue -
