Right now I feel pretty good about equity index shorts, I prefer 2-3x leveraged like SPXu (3x short SPY) , SQQQ (3x short QQQ), SDOW (3x short Dow), SRTY (3x short IWM-Russell 2000).
As for other shorts, I'd take them on a case by case basis, obviously I want to enter in to any intraday strength, but all of them are now in a position in which they are pretty well darn negative. Even the QQQ which has been moving down is still in a good spot when looking at the bigger picture.
As for specific Industry groups, I want to take a closer look at those.
Remember you don't want too much correlation between positions, for example a QQQ short and a Tech short are going to be pretty closely correlated.
It also depends on where you are with positioning, I and many of us have already entered partial positions and adding here is a bonus, where others may have no short exposure and may want to consider a little larger positions, but I'd still leave some room to add.
I'll address these more specifically, especially as I make any additions as well as look at industry groups like Financials, etc.
Is interest rates about to start going up?
-
Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.
