Potential sell-side program about to get kicked.

EXACTLY where it happens is tough to predict but the divergence is BIG right now - almost half a percent!

Looks like someone bumped into the box, and switched it over to buy instead...

The institutions know that the credit markets will tear this party down...

So why wouldn't they be taking this opportunity to pare down exposures? Or maybe they are - which would mean Hedgies are buying equities furiously. This is as about as irrational a market as you will get.....and the activity certainly confirms the excessively bullish sentiment indicators I have seen recently.

Blow off top in progress? What could investors possibly be thinking!

The futures are easy to run and IMHO the hedgies KNOW they need to get the hell out - but they can't without retail to unload it to.

Blow-off indeed.

Yep.

I'm not bailing. My shorts are not in bad shape at all; the moves back up are pretty anemic on the stuff I'm short.

Interestingly enough my LEN PUTs actually ROSE today. I took the trade off as the stock was moving up mildly too, and I was getting better than I got yesterday, so out I went on that one.

Still holding the short.
