After a 21 day period of good profit making opportunities on long side the market had a bit of correction today. This should not surprise anyone. When you see the euphoric moves in solar stocks yesterday and see the 50% plus numbers approaching 20, you have to start taking profits or tightening stops.

Now again after few days or weeks of weakness the market will set it up for long side plays. In the meanwhile Episodic Pivots and Earnings trades will continue to work.

The bears in the meanwhile will again paint scary scenarios, scaring you away when next buy opportunity presents itself. That is the way of the market.
