Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Today, we are starting off with a chart of the Dow Jones. This shows you that we have a market that, in the short term, is extremely overvalued. RSI is above 60, the average is moving towards the top of its bollinger bands, and it is overbought on stochastics. All this is showing to me that the market is toppy. That chart is how I want to start this week to show you that I think we are going to be looking at some short sales and inverse ETFs unless we have reason to believe the market will rally. Today, I do not see any major reason to believe that will happen.

This morning, we got some slightly bullish news in the form of an AIG sale to Metlife, but it is short lived. As of 8:00 AM, futures on the Dow were up 20. As of 8:30 AM, they were at 10.

There is no economic data to sustain the market, and earnings were non-existent. The only even slightly important company to report was Yingli Green (YGE), who we will get to in our short sale.
For that reason, we can position ourselves well today in an inverse ETF for a buy. We want to avoid the financials and energy, however, because we had a major deal with Royal Dutch Shell and Australia Arrow Energy that could confuse the oil ETFs and oil market. AIG is in that financial sector. Therefore, I turn my attention to the under the radar Ultrashort Proshares ETF (SRS) for our Buy Pick of the Day. This one should be a bit of a slipper in the market today. It is sitting neutral in pre-market, but it is a volatile ETF that can really take off at the…
