Surprised by today's market action

Yes, I was surprised by the market action today. With so many layoffs and missed earnings by Caterpillar, I thought the market would take a step down. Volume was lighter than Fridays so we will know more by Wednesday, when the Fed completes its 2 days of meetings. Maybe many believe the bad news is already baked into this market, but I doubt it is. I am willing to be a believer with real data. I did not sell TNA nor SSO as I was looking to add to my positions on any drop. But it didn't happen today. I truly think we will all make at least 20-25% on this round trip for these ETF trades and I predict, again, within a 6 week period. That does not preclude a trip lower. If you are smart, buy on dips down and accumulate, because I think this next move up will be more like a sling shot, quick and far. Predicting the market direction means being in tune with the news and predicting outcomes there as well.
