An ugly August ahead?

The DOW futures, which I have been SHORT since May, are starting off the month with sharp declines. If you've been monitoring this blog then you know that I warned that the DOW's retracement rally ended on Friday when the index broke through the 100-day MA on an intraday basis but ended the week below that level. I don't believe in trying to predict where the markets are going to be in the future but I have to admit that I believe the month of August will go down in the record books as one of the ugliest on record for the Stock Index futures. Let's just call it a hunch. So, stay SHORT and enjoy the ride to new cycle lows. There is a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow but only those traders who exercise patience will generate the maximum profit from this next leg down.
