I fought the fed and the fed won. Dumped all of my short positions totalling about a 35% loss all. Now I sit on the sidelines and watch this insanity without the stress. I will have my finger poised on the short button as I think this rally only has a few weeks left in it.

@WTFpattern, Fair enough. Given the upside potential of 3-5x on a crash, taking a 35% L on missed timing aint too bad.
These bets are never certain but risk/reward still brilliant if a crash happens anytime June/July.

@ProfitHarvest, I agree, it was worth a shot the way the fundamentals are projecting. I think your title of "No Man's Land" is spot on. A climb or a crash from here would not surprise me anymore.

@WTFpattern, You got caught in the Big Money short squeeze trap. They'd been signaling they were gonna try to create one last FOMO/Short Squeeze to fully milk Retail as much as possible before the crash and it worked probably even better than they'd hoped. It's a brutal market yo.

@WTFpattern, You can short garbage that jumps up, like GE, AAL, Hertz, etc. while you wait.

@AlmadeCubano, I should have anticipated that travel stock FOMO wave because of course.

@ProfitHarvest Bingo! They didn't want the day to bounce around that line and possibly induce sellers, so what to do? Oh yeah, cause a big gap up and induce further sheep/keep sellers on sidelines. Gapping above major resistance is bearish.
