Index futures appear to have gone momentarily bonkers Monday night, so I’ve backed off the short in the E-Minis. Because this eruption occurred in several vehicles simultaneously, it would appear to have been triggered by “whisper” news known at this hour only to the wily, oh-so-wired predators who work the night shift.  _______ UPDATE (9:48 a.m.): The oh-so-wired predators appear to have jumped the gun on news that never came. The markets have since settled back into their accustomed holding pattern, awaiting the ‘news’ that will conduce the next all-but-inevitable short squeeze.
