Oversold indicators and divergent VIX suggest we have a tradable bottom
On October 14th, and again on October 16th, we posted commentary about our anticipated development of an oversold condition, that would setup a trading bottom in the market.
VIX diverging now; S&P trading bottom approaching?
Transports set for a flush – $TRAN
Our fund had gross market exposure of 40/60 – long/short, until the morning of October 15th, when we started the shift to our current gross exposure of 58/42.
We don’t know how long the expected rally will last, but we do know the market likes to confound expectations.

Safeway – Just for U stock price savings
On October 10, 2012 we posted our bullish outlook on Safeway: Safeway – Double Coupon Special – $SWY Last week the stock traded above 17 and looked like it was going to fill its July 2012 downside gap but it failed.
We believe this market likes to punish the obvious, and the failure left momentum chasing new longs trapped, and brought back in the short sellers.
We came across the note below at The Motley Fool; looks like we are in good company.
Billionaire Ray Dalio’s Latest Stock Picks
Bridgewater increased its holdings of Safeway (NYSE: SWY) by about a third to make that the second largest stock holding by market value in its 13F portfolio. The trailing and forward P/E multiples at these two companies all come out to 8x, which normally represents value territory. Both stocks also pay dividend yields of about 4%.
Safeway’s current short interest is 77,110,275 which is 30% of the float and 15.68 days to cover.
That is a crowded trade.

VIX diverging now; S&P trading bottom approaching?
Our short positions are working, and we are getting comfortable. That is never a good sign for us. We are going to trim our short exposure.
