The equity market bounce

We advised covering shorts in US equities in the October 16th edition and re-selling short again after a rally, in the October 21st edition.

Here is an update to the two examples we used to show the resistance:

Qs Valug, DEdow

We still have not found a place to sell any other stock indices short but we watch carefully.
