The traders push up the market into an unbelievable level

however, it didn't impact my negative view of the market. before Friday I believe the Dow will try to reach over 8300 point. The trader will convince the people that the market is better. Until most of the people believe their story. They will come out and push down the market.

In this situation, set the higher point to short like over 8300 buy little put, around 9000 buy more if they really able to push so high.

The blog will be rest for two weeks. Until May 18 2009.

Good luck
