Hi Joe ,

The best place to be in a bear market is highly liquid US inverse ETF,s such as QQQ. Some hedge fund managers put a Bollinger band of 1 standard deviation around a 200 day SMA of the S&P500 and move to cash when price drops below the upper band. If price moves below the lower band they move into inverse ETF’s.

Do some back testing and see how it compares to going into gold at the same times.

We are still in a bull market at the moment so I still invested in findamentally sound high volume ultrending stocks and looking to buy technical breakouts. If the S&P 500 breaks below the upper BBand line I will tighten stop losses to 2 X 22 day ATR’s and cease taking new long positions.

Nothing to worry about yet. Speaking of worrying, has anyone heard from Diabtribe? I hope that DOW short that he took 5 months too early hasn’t finally cooked him.

Synthetic Inverse ETFs are relatively very expensive. Better to buy some put options according to stocks within your portfolio in times of high volatility and uncertainty, or take some short CFDs on the index.

The safest place to be is in cash and precious metals during a recession/depression.
