Bulls make money, Bears (Pa, What are Bears?) make money

Bears usually hibernate during the winter, but boy they are hard to find these days, unless of course you are reading this blog. I feel very lucky to have lost a small sum of money today, that arb position in JCI that I mentioned this morning really helped as did those shorts in the preferred ETFs. I am amazed at how weak those were today - its totally out of character with how this market has been trading. I didnt cover my short nasdaq futures they closed about 5 points in my face - I put on a new short in AXL (with upside calls in place). We are in for a secondary tonight that has warrants attached.
Not much else to report - the brain is drifting towards vacation and concentrating very hard on keeping our profits for the month.

Enjoy the evening. Back at it tomorrow.
