SHORT ANDE $24.39
SHORT SASR $9.65
SHORT PZZA $21.97
Markets not looking good right now in my opinion. They are overbought and momentum is negative and slowing. Bears will take control today and I will ride this next wave down with some sweet short positions. Will start scanning for short setups!

Exit long positions, raise cash, or go short!
The Somme Valley, France (taken from exerpts from the Government of Canada web-site):
"At 9:15 on July 1, 1916, The Newfoundland Regiment, consisting of 778 men, left their trench, and advanced toward their objective; the first and second line of enemy trenches, some 650 to 900 metres away. They moved down the exposed slope towards No Man’s Land, the rear sections waiting until those forward reached the required 40-metre distance ahead. A murderous cross-fire cut across the advancing columns and men began to drop, at first not many but then in large numbers as they approached the first gaps in their own wire. Few advanced beyond their own line. There simply was little advance to witness; just heaps of khaki left slumped on the ground.
.
Before 9:45 a.m., in less than 30 minutes. it was all over. Throughout the day survivors attempted the long and dangerous journey back to their own lines, many being an easy target for enemy snipers and artillery fire. Many lay wounded on the battlefield for several days. That night the search began for survivors. When the roll call was taken, only 68 responded. The full cost would not be known for several days. The final figures revealed that the regiment had been virtually wiped out: 710 killed, wounded or missing."
.
As as side note, the ally casualties sustained on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme totalled 57,470, of which 19,240 were fatal.
.
An important thing to remember; expecially at this time of Remembrance...
