Yesterday I warned that being long was holding lit dynamite and that 942 better hold on S&P500. Hope you listened.
Now it gets really fugly. On the Intel gapdown tomorrow, 942 will be history. New short interest data shows even further loss of short interest in QQQQ (now almost .35 days to cover) and all the major QQQQ stocks. There are very few shorts to cover to break the fall.
QID has been fine for me…over 100% return since 5/07.

BTW I meant to say S&P better hold 842, not 942.
