Why does it look more done to you now than a few months ago? We’ve been kind of calling it a top for quite some time
Tim Knight’s sentence still resonates in my head “62.50 on IWM is a once in a lifetime shorting opportunity”… it’s the third time it’s breaching it steadily…
Don’t get me wrong, I hope you’re right. But I’m wondering what makes it more look like a top than the previous ones…
The others (early June, early/mid-Aug, the 3rd week of Sept, 3rd week of Oct, mid-Jan) *were* mostly tops — just temporary ones! As Bjorn was getting at, most technical analysis tools are particularly powerful on a short-term basis.
So if you get a swing trade like the above right, adjust your stops so that the worst you can do is make a modest amount of money or break even.

Russell is now back at 640… I was a bit suspicious and rightfully so it seems. What’s your opinion from here?
