SMN: Bull or Bear?

(closed on 05/21/10)

The commodities bubble burst in 2008. The public is buying commodity stocks because the FED is printing money. The problem is they are not printing it fast enough to wipe out the leverage  that was created by that boom. The world  needs inflation and the that game is over. The basic materials stocks are yesterday's bull market the lows will be retested. The XLB is the long index for this group. The SMN is 2X short that index

These days it is hard for anyone to be credible when they say they know what is going to happen next. I am no different. I have a view and for now it is working but that doesn't mean it will tomorrow. I am happy to tell everyone what I think and they are free to agree or disagree. My premise is a simple one but it isn't a happy one. So you may sleep better if you just hit the delete key now. In my view, the problem we all face is a big one. The US like the rest of the world is over leveraged. As anyone who has ever lost their butts trading stocks on margin knows when times are great l...

A worldwide slowdown means decreased demand for basic materials. If you don't believe that there's a worldwide slowdown, then check the Baltic Dry Index. It's fallen off a cliff going back to mid-summer.

Bookkeeping: Increasing Hedges in Energy and Basic Materials Graphic_rating_buy SMN

 -31.09%

Taking Ultrashort Basic Materials (SMN) up to 4.1% of fund
Taking Ultrashort Oil - Gas (DUG) up to 4.3% of fund

The China news might finally be the catalyst to break the trend - we'll see. This is a market (energy) trading more on emotion and momentum, rather than the underlying fundamentals at this stage of the move in my opinion. And when 1 commodity sells off the hedge funds sell off everything no matter the fundamentals. So I'll just increase these insurance policies (hedges).

So far the "insurance" policy in the Basic Materials has been a big loser for us

(ouch)
