Get Short for 2016

Today’s death in a box action is indicative of 2015. If you think you’re having a rough go at it now, wait until you have to contend with the Fed hiking rates every quarter.

All of the manipulation and fraud has left a stench that cannot be washed out. Stocks cannot trade higher for more than a few days. Breadth is always narrow and the weak and vulnerable are readily picked off.

I ran this stat out on Twitter the other day. No one wanted to believe it; but it’s true. The median return for stocks with market caps under $1 billion is -49%.

You cannot diversify out systematic risk; but you can hedge it, which is why I am emphatic when I say “get short for 2016.”

    I’m actually pretty excited to see the short side. This non-stop smoke and mirrors up is boring. I can’t wait Senor Fly.

    I’m so down to “get my short on.” Sick of the government manipulating everything,. How many solar stocks do you think are in Pelosi’s portfolio?

    sure, had you faded me all year, you’d be down upwards of 20%. Bet against me, see where it gets you.

    If they raise every quarter I’m with you.I feel equity
    prices are way ahead of earnings.A raise once a year
    would be ok though.

    So how does one go about getting short the market for 2016? Where do you begin and what do you use….ETF’s? Specific stocks?
