    Melt up to election?

    LOL.  Romney has been pretty vocal about ditching the Bernanke if he is elected.  Out of self preservation, wonder if the Bernanke will be burning the midnight oil at the printing presses to keep his job?

    Technically speaking, we are at a pretty key moment here.  If we go over this downtrend line -- we will likely gap it hard and run.  Also, those inflation assets (gold, silver, copper etc.) will likely have to take up some slack and run hard.

    The flip side of that, if we sell-off, I would argue that we would likely breach the 13 ema (yet again), and the impulsive nature of this 11 week long uptrend will be in jeopardy (too many zig-zags).  If that is the case, I believe the warning signs that are calling the end of this bull market may indeed prove correct.  So, melt up, or die.

    Of course.... one can only look at a Chart from JUne 5th on

    they say never short a dull market and this has been the definition of a dull market the last 7 days.  Again we have OPEX on Friday and Moon cycle, maybe it wants to hold up into there.  If it does, I'll probably sell some SPY calls for next Friday, we'll see.
