Closed All Short Positions

I've decided to quit fighting the market, which makes no sense whatsoever with regards to market sentiment. I've closed out my positions in SDS, QID, and DXD. I guess this is a lesson learned the hard way. I've tried to legitimize in my mind why the market should be headed downwards, but I guess if the government wants to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at the problem, then that is enough to sway the market and other investors.

I believe we are headed down a very slippery slope and am really struggling with having a positive outlook on the U.S. market. Lack of jobs, continued uncertainty, inept legislators, and a poor housing market....what's not to be positive about? I envision that many people are going to get hurt again, so I'm going to keep my investments small and precise.
