2011 May 18 - 31 Analysis - Testing 200 days EMA?
Let's look the S&P technical levels in the following chart. S&P 500 is currently holding at 50 days EMA. It may try go higher but eventually it will have to come back to 200 days EMA of 1234.62.
If you are a long term conservative investors, then you have to switch your investment strategy and move on the Fixed Income Securities - Govt. Bonds, US Long dated Treasuries (TLT), US Dollar (UUP), etc.
If you are a long term risky player in the market, then you can initiate short position and accumulate short position gradually in the coming weeks. You can not expect return in the short term.
Only if you are day trader, you have to follow swing strategies. It is ok to bet on the volatility by betting either side (long and short) on the market.
