Stocks: The Week of Cut & Paste

Yesterday the Masters sold off their positions and are now sitting in 90% cash, we talked it up in Feels like a Correction is Coming.  The only recommendation we made was the  iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures (VXX) which happens to be up 3% today.  The only sure bet for the next few days is volatility.

Rather then risk our necks, we prefer cashing out.  We would much rather buy back our favorite stocks 5 to 10% lower in the coming weeks.  Even if we are wrong, we would rather watch from the sidelines and not pay over $500 for Apple (AAPL).  Yes we are the Antichrist suggesting that Apple Goes Vertical this Week then CRASHES ( Feb 14th).

The events of the day are the following:

The euro slipped for a fourth day against the dollar, losing 0.5 percent to $1.3066, and weakened against 15 of 16 major peers as of 11:15 a.m. in New York. The MSCI All-Country World Index added 0.4 percent, erasing yesterday’s 0.4 percent drop. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was little changed near the 1,351 level. The cost of insuring against default on European government bonds gained for a sixth day. The S&P GSCI Index rose 0.7 percent, paring an earlier 1.4 percent advance. Continue..
