Frank, will try to read your post tomorrow. Went to X-Men tonight. So just checking in. Used today to lighten both short positions and gold. Gold positions have outperformed % wise, but I'd be ahead more if I didn't short the SPX in the 875 area. Made about 5% off my lowest levels of the past 2 weeks so banking it. Back near the highs and I'm going to try NOT to trade less until things start acting rational again. Although based on divergences showing up, sentiment, TA levels, FA etc, I suspect I'll be shorting the SPX again on any apparent ST weakness.
X-Men was somewhat disappointing. Still worth seeing if you're a fan as it further completes the picture and has some interesting effects/storylines, but overall feels like it was written by a high school freshmen for high school freshmen. Too many ridiculous scenes to suspend disbelief. Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy. Next terminator could be good, but typical Hollywood looks like it's heavy on action at the expense of thinking. Original Matrix is already a classic because - in the director's own words - they only used effects/stunts to when added to the overall story. For those who haven't seen it I think Pan's Labyrinth has been one of my favorite films in the past few years. Also liked the Fountain. There are a few others I'm forgetting, but it's late.
