Slowly moving August is over. After this comming Labor Day week, trading volume should be picking up as traders return from their summer vacations. NASDAQ has reached new high and INDU and SPX are approaching its recent high respectively. All markets have done some base building, we will find out wheither or not they will break out or go down. Short term wise, it looks the market will move up a little. Short: QQQ Oct 32 Put (it’s not working obviously after QQQ’s big run up). Long: HNP (I have been waiting for opportunity to own some HNP shares), SUNW, SOHU and MSFT (SSF).
