betting against the government is very risky. i'm thinking of shorting the russell 2k with a 1/2 position at the june 30th close and 1/2 at the close of next thursday. i think the window dressing here is keeping this market higher than it wants and i'm in for a down side trade. i plan on having a relatively tight stop to limit losses if i'm wrong. i'm actually hoping to get my RWM near $55 if the S&P can elevate toward 940 for the close of june. am i missing something here? my trades have been pretty crappy lately, so i appreciate any feedback that i might not be considering. ps - i also think this might be the inflection point for a serious downward move, but that's just guesswork at this point. i do plan on going more short should we break down below spx 878 on volume.
