This Is a Time to Be a Trader, Not an Investor
We are NOWHERE NEAR an economic bottom. The thesis of a mid-2009 recovery to an economic re-expansion is highly suspect -- we have lots more new bad news ahead. The picture for actual vs. hoped-for consumer and business capital expenditure demand gets clearer -- unfortunately to the downside.
Investors who bought the notion that we hit bottom, lost a bundle yet again. But you don't have to follow the herd over the cliff -- you can play the downside for more profits trading short ETFs.
As you can see, our forward-looking survey results confirm that it is far too early to start buying stocks as though the bottom was in.
