I have no long positions anymore; Dec. 22, 2008

No time to go in great detail as I'm reconfiguring my strategy. The market has failed to rally as proposed for quite some time now. Today is a light volume day but the market suggests a rally but it keeps drifting lower. I don't like what the market is doing so I exited my long positions and am only modestly short various sector ETFs and the Nasdaq 100. I am still allowing for a sharp rally into the 950 area so my short positions are fairly small in preparation to reshort on rallies. A strong S&P break of 850 should eliminate most/all bullish possibilities in the short term.

To sum up, I'm now only short with modest positions on in preparation for a strong rally where I'll just add to my shorts. A strong break of 850 in the S&P should result in an accelerated decline and will cause me to pile on more short positions.

Do you think the rally at the end will continue into tomorrow? Or do you think the market is going to drop big tomorrow?
