brainstorming tuesday - DEFCON 1 - Alarmstufe Rot

1. We have reached the tops by a error margin of max 2 % on the upside but with a downside potential of 25% from todays levels. Sentiment is at extremes as you will see later and reluctant bulls all around as the mighty FED seems to have put an invincible support below the market which is complete bullshit as they have failed to keep bond markets up and sit on tens of billions of losses already with a real fair pricing in MBS you can rather add a zero. As we go into the earnings season this week markets might oscillate for 2-3 weeks around this levels but one should exit longs and enter shorts at these levels.
