Out of My Short

I took a licking today as I was short from Monday and the market rocketed higher.  I don't think this market has much fuel left, looking at the moves in other asset classes. But  I feel uncomfortable being short overnight so I closed out my short in the final hour.  I will reassess tomorrow morning.  Today's move seems to be more than meets the eye.  Its not just because the Republicans will win the Senate seat.

I think a sell off is more appropriate after the run-up following the Republican victory in Massachusetts.

I am waiting to get short after the BAC/WFC/MS triumvirate report earnings. But we may go a little bit lower in AH, but not much lower.
