Today's Sector Sort

Not a kind day in the market. Now that the shorts have been shaken out of the financials in particular, there appears to be no "true" buying interest. Perhaps we'll get the roll over that Cat alluded to.

NG notes that oil continues to go up. That Nigerian/Iraq problem has been passed around like a bottle of cheap booze. I wonder if there is not a short or two blowing up. I'm long DUG calls. I'm short BNI and DIA. But I've GE calls. I have HERO calls and TE calls. I've more cash than anything. I did close out my UYG for a small loss.
