It's Support... It's Resistance... It's S&P 1550...


Is it support?  Is it resistance?  It's still unclear, but a definitive breakout in either direction will make me money.  Perhaps we may even get both before 5 April 2013.  

With the Cypriots in the headlines and Bernanke up on Wednesday, it's likely the next few days will continue to be volatile.

Dare I hope for beautiful profit taking in both directions?

The first relatively green day for me in a long time, but tonnes of puts expired for me on Saturday, including my XLF, XLK, and DIA puts, resulting in 100% losses.  The major lesson I learned here is to aim for quicker asset reallocation.  It's important for one's levels to remain in the money.  With my DIA $139 puts, once $139 became support, that position was finished.
