Once a lifetime event:2008

What we have right now, is a once a lifetime event. The only thing closes to this is 1929.
  1. Therefore, continue to use the normal oversold and overbought indicators is not enough.
  2. Have to follow the main trend, which is down. Therfore, fade every rally is the best way to trade this market.
  3. Can go long only when it's extremely oversold. We had these feeling on Oct.10th and then Nov.20th. These are the times to be brave.
  4. Market was down 9% today. A bounce tomorrow is normal, use that to sell longs and add some shorts.
  5. Since I was bullish, I sold some OTM puts and some covered calls, so going shorts is necessary to reduce the long positions' risk.
  6. Stop being too smart to catch every bounce, I will be burned.
  7. Focus and trade less.
