From what I have seen thus far, what you and the authors say about the relative reliability of the nation-based or regional/geographic etfs appears to be true. So when it comes time to short etfs like the RSX (Russia) or the EWC – the likelihood of an inverted etf that covers those type of etfs may be pretty low.

Hopefully, you maybe know something I don’t re: inverted country/regional etfs. I’m more than happy to be wrong (when the market is closed, that is !)

I don’t always make all the trades – I have a limited amount of funds and don’t want to be fully invested. But it’s fun to play!

For shorting, the rules are to short stocks and etfs only when they are below their 200 day moving average, and their RSI(2) is greater than 90 (or other higher level you specify).

And you don’t have to actually short the etf. For example, to short SPY, you could go “go long” with SH or SDS. That’s something you can’t do with stocks!

Good work with the blog. Hope you have been putting some of these good calls on and plumping up your trading acct.

I am wondering if you also follow the High Probability signals that identify short sale opportunities. If so, I may have missed the posts where you identified shorting. Wondering if you have a bias toward long positions with ETFs.

I know that some of them can be hard to borrow and therefore hard to short. Tried to short the TLT on another strategy last week and was told they could not “locate” the shares. Anyway, just wondering …
