2/12/16
very indecisive now. peaks at
175 and 180 puts and 199 and 202 calls

Maybe investment banks were able to reallocate their resources out of long strategy during oct reprieve , but that's good for them only. The ones who get sucked into the months of possible Ups that immediately follow the cross , by getting new positions on , or mostly by not getting out of long " see I told you it'd would be right back up ( true. Because oscillators agreed) , and now it will just keep going ( false , because of the cross ) ". That's the sort of think that happens after each correction has started , a reluctance or apathy to view the techs for what they are, based on false euphoria generated with sudden moves up. That pattern can be seen at the official Start of and leading up to , any correction, and THAT my friend is where WE have the Intuitive advantage, because the techs have provided said insight.
