I watched the mid-day / lunchtime version of Fast Money. At about 1:30 PM ET, here was how they saw the close...Fast Money's Slow Money Trades
CALL THE CLOSE
Steve Grasso: I think the S&P goes to 1000. I’m a seller.
Scott Nation: I’m a seller.
Katie Stockton: I’m a seller. There are too many breakdowns to ignore.
Scott Redler: If we get to 1040, I’m a buyer.
At least one of them said he'd buy at some point, but they all missed it. And I assume by "seller" it means they were short and part of the covering that helped the rally.
