Dow is smashed down


Hello,

stock markets are in middle of downtrend move

Especially Dow Jones Industrial index is hit hard. Next target is 11000 points. I closed some of my Dow shorts and I plan to enter shorts again using inverse ETF (DXD) in any pullback.

Not too much to say. Markets are dropping down and most of sectors are in bearish mode.

There are only islands of strength represented by Utilities and Russsia and Canadian ETFs.

I think that European stock markets will be hit much more by this downtrend move so if you can trade these markets , check situation over there. I am short DAX, IBEX (Spain) for several weeks already.

As I mentioned I am not only bearish to stock markets but also to price of bonds. I expect that interest rates all over the world will be moving higher and therefore price of bonds should drop. Watch also this area for possible short entries.

Happy trading,

Richard
