IWM: Can you hear me now?

IWM:  "Attention, I am in a perfect MEGAPHONE pattern AKA Reverse Symmetrical Triangle AKA reversal formation!  Short me at your own risk, for I have confounded you before and I could do so again."  Top calling blogger who's too dumb, too stubborn or just maybe too disciplined to join the bull party:  "Okay, I am thinking about it.  You don't have any Egypt sentiment screw up tricks up your sleeve this time do you?"  I am 1 & 1 w/ IWM recently; 1 profit and 1 loss taking most of it back.

I went long a particularly over sold emerging market today per NFTRH123, which is against a broad emerging market short.  Maybe I am thick, but I am simply not on board with the US bull trade any more and nothing is going to get me back on it until resolution of some important macro items.

Edit (3:15)  Adding a couple more bearish items to the chart:  Rising wedge and low volume.  Not being a stock trader jock, I am not going to 'call' whether I short small caps or not because I don't want to have to micro manage this stuff on the blog.  But that sure as hell is not something I'd buy.  Say, who IS buying, anyway?
