The DOW broke 17,000 around 3:00 pm EDT and may close the day above it. While this is our general stop loss area, I am going to stay with my short position in the broad stock market for now as we are in the dead center of a strong reversal zone and we still have a case of bearish intermarket divergence (the S&P 500 and NASDAQ have still not broken through their mid-September highs). Also, we need to allow a wider margin of error around support and resistance lines right now because the markets are so volatile.
Holding my short position in the broad stock market.
