A few weeks ago he was aggressively bearish, then cautious and now calling for a rally despite being bearish. He seems confused or hedging his bets currently. Saut has been confusing me lately.

Feels the market is vulnerable to the downside.. Feels like we're going parabolic here right before the big selloff. Jeff Saut called for a long trade until sometime in early June.

You can search the site for more thoughts on both. Hi Steve,

Now i better understand your posture - some percentage (up to 25%) is invested short and you will close your shorts around 985. I always look for some "quantitative" measures when reading "trading" posts. If numbers like this are not mentioned than it is really hard to understand the conviction of the trader and his strategy.
