Quote from TGregg:
I've never backtested, but it does seem to me that the market prefers a nice tank to close out a week versus other days. Doesn't mean that we will tank tomorrow, or not dive today of course. But you gotta play the odds.![]()
If the markets breaks down into the close today and earnings from RIMM and ORCL miss and GDP figures come in below estimates the SPX could easily close below 1040 tomorrow without any hesitation. I bought a could of inverse ETFs on Monday and sold them at the close, fast forward just 2 days and there up another 5-10% since I sold them.
I am still holding onto to plenty of short etfs so any downside and my portfolio stays green, but in the meantime went long SMH and URE which haven't worked out for me yet.
