September 2, Friday before Labor Day, long silver

Broad indices opened higher, sold off sharply at 12:30, and are attempting to retrace higher.

Went long AG at 12.23, a miner which is a proxy for the price of silver. This could be a several day or several week hold. A few weeks ago it made 18s, and now looking for a partial retracement of that price.

September 1, flat into long weekend

Thursday, with one day before the long Labor Day weekend, look for broad indices to close slightly higher tomorrow (Friday). Many vacations are starting today, so volume should be even lighter tomorrow. Sold the short SP500, SDS, for essentially no gain.

Sold the DUG, ProShares UltraShort Oil & Gas, at 48.76 for 2.07 per share gain. This can continue to run further.
