Economy Continues to Struggle; Markets to Follow?

If you want to short the market in the present obviously manipulated market you have to be willing to take undue risks. You can't fight the Fed in this context, nor can you count on whistelblowers that may or may not spill the beans. Your safest play may be to short SPY with a 2 % trailing stop loss. You may get exercized if the market moves against you in the opposite direction but at least you will not get wiped out.
