Hi All,

As mentioned in my INDEX UPDATE, I am starting to get more bearish, at least for the short-term.
Message 12786823

Since the focus of this thread is to time the index funds, I am considering to increase the downside exposure in our hypothetical account which is at:
home.att.net
(click on "PROFUND TRADES")

Currently we are 40% invested in the USPIX(follows NDX to the downside). Previously we have taken a very conservative approach and have not used more than 25% of the capital in any one direction (without hedging).

If I was to add to the downside, I am considering to initiate another position in the URPIX(follows the SPX to the downside), since I also got a CLASS 1 SELL signal there.

I dont want to be too heavily invested in the USPIX. Keep in mind that we are attempting to work a strategy for a whole account in terms of risk management, not just the turning points.

Any comments. Should I increase the downside exposure or leave it at 40%, or even hedge it???
