The best pick for 2009 will be the SRS and SDS after we see a 15% rally in the S&P. The housing collapse is still in the middle innings in the US and early stages around the world, credit is still frozen and we are staring down the barrel of 2 options with the US dollar, deflation or hyper inflation, neither will be very helpful to the average citizen. Obama rally until the spring, short everything the rest of the way. S&P 400-600 a year from now.
