But what makes so many things move in concert? High frequency trading? Contagion? When I wake up in the morning, decisions have been made about where things will move and it wasnt by people like me or many other classes of investors.

My account was actually up today. I've been hedged for weeks, mostly with SH but also some QID.
Plus, short on CCL and AAL.
I hope for more of the same tomorrow.

So you are pretty happy. The quickest way to get rich is to hold triple levered etf's!

Ouch.....how is that buy the DIP strategy working out for you now without the support from the FED?

Way to early to say …anytime the fed says anything about rates rising there is a knee jerk reaction.

Historically slow rising rates has no see saw action with markets until rates get way high

Rates are going lower, NOT higher. The FED is bluffing. No real inflation in sight and deflation is the real threat that has never went away and it can’t until we endure it.

Good Luck!
