Some "long" house cleaning -- before we go back into fear mode...

It appears that we are close to finishing the latest greed phase on the SPY trend line.  In anticipation of this I am cleaning out some long positions I have had for a long time:

MWTRX   Mutual Fund Intermediate Bond fund

SSAIX International Stock fund

XLY  Consumer ETF  -- wrote a $29 November  ITM covered call to close this out

XLE   Energy

IJH  Midcap  S&P 400

Of course, the market might decide to go on a big upswing instead of going back into fear, but I really am expecting the market to go into a more lateral, higher volatility mode pretty soon.
