Last wall of defensive offense

At some point, if the market keeps bottoming (Dow Jones -229, NAS -46, S&P -23), natty gassers will cave and give back enormous gains. Half of my tracking list remains green, but UNG has plunged from 8.22 to 8.11 in the past several minutes.

The mini-bubble could burst, which would make the sector a shorter's paradise, especially with the sub-5 issues like FTK, DPTR and HERO. Careful out there.

Just about the only real safe haven today has been (and probably will continue to be) VXX, which is up 6.4% to 30.24, off its intraday high of 30.48. FAZ is up 7.1% to 15.79, and inverse oil SCO is +6.2% to 16.07. TLT, grannie favorite TMF and TZA are also up nicely for bearish traders.

Careful riding with the VXXen!
