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.

August 26, short into weekend
Broad indices were higher, sold off, tried to rally to break-even at 3pm, and went lower in to the close. Weak market tape. Metals were higher then sold off to a small loss. Dollar was higher and looks to continue higher. Markets failed to hold higher prices.
Went short SP500, SDS ProShares UltraShort S&P500, at 16.50.
Went short oil and gas, DUG ProShares UltraShort Oil & Gas, at 46.69.
Next week, going in to Labor Day weekend, will be light volume.
