Today, Friday, October 17, 2008, I bought SPY, first for client accounts, then for my personal accounts.

I am still bearish, my indicators are still bearish, but I do see suggestions of a bear market rally getting started. At this point, I'm not expecting more than a couple of days to a couple of weeks. So I will likely be moving back to cash soon. But I do sense an opportunity to recover a few percentage points with a short-term trade.

I'll explain myself more fully tomorrow in my end-of-week status report.
