I'm not so sure about this.  Seasonality has a lot of influence on the 
  markets and we are now in a strong period for the markets.  We have seen 
  a 10% correction and much more than that in the non blue chips.  The 
  broader market has not recovered much from the past weeks of correction.  
  It is not easy to answer the question of "if not stocks, where do I put my 
  money?" .. I would be very cautious about taking up short positions until we 
  see if seasonality will win over the banking concerns.  (Much of which 
  has been baked into the averages).

      - Neither the volume indicator for the S&P-500 nor the NASDAQ-100 
      confirmed the recent rally.  We still need strong up-volume to 
      confirm.  Until we do, this move is suspect (see attached 
      charts).  -  Pete
