I can't even remember the last solid down move at this point. EWZ was $22.61 when I closed my last position. At the time this trade
the price was $27.43... That $4.82 increase is over 21% in a matter of weeks! The general market has had a similar unstoppable rally as well. I could certainly be wrong, but EWZ (as well as the entire general market) feels extremely over-bought to me. Since I think we're due for a
