I have a daily sell on SPX. So any rallies here will be shorting opportunities to me. Sudden death from top, Shock-and-awe type rallies from bottom - this has become the story of SPX. No topping process. No bottoming process. The pro selling to the dentists and shoe-shine boys era is over. Now it's the pros cutting each other's throats. They all enter at once in a coordinated move and exit out in a coordinated move. I wonder who the suckers are ?

The suckers are those you think are the pros.
The true "pros" now are the HFT computers.

Am I reading this right? Are you saying the suckers are the pros on this board? I think most of them are bullish. Arge they going to get gored?

" No. I'm saying that fine institutional and many high level traders are no match for HFT-and they'd be the first to admit it. That said, I sure don't see "most of them bullish" here.
