Trend Lines And Pig's Ears

There is nothing overnight to suggest that the S&P can't make at least a marginal new high. Asia is mixed. Europe looks pretty solid. Futures are flat.

If it's not tanking, it must be resting. Resting for a measly 3-4 points. Ha.

After yesterday -- after the sixth flat day -- it's uncertain whether the scenario put forth here Friday and Monday will come to pass. I'm starting to anticipate a slightly higher high and what I would do with it.

Dump stale SPY 203 calls. Add more UVXY. Boring but better than nothing.

Atlanta is not boring. I love the Little Five Points area where we are staying. And I love the food.

Last night we went to a place called the Wrecking Bar last night which was fabulous. The walls were solid slabs of granite. They brewed their own beer. The food was perfect, and right out of the Gordon Ramsey school of well-priced, fresh, and local fare that blew us all away.

Our table slowly became jammed packed with beer, wine, fried pigs ears, homemade sausage, bone marrow, duck breast, chicken pot pie, Swiss chard, rice cakes with bok choy and shiitake mushroom sweet rice. Everything was under $20. Everything was fantastic.

The only challenge was trying to get a shot of the food without hands in the way. That's my friend's wife's nail polish. It's called schmutz. Hilarious.

Back to the S&P: the trend line is rising. Today it's sitting at about 2,055.
