"In a US stock market that hasn't had many down days lately, it's been tough sledding on the short side. As US stock market bulls, we get why the stock market is pulverizing 2017 bears.

As the Risk Manager of entry points on new ideas, my job is to wait & watch for the top-end of the @Hedgeye Risk Range. In HQY I'll signal that today.
