You guys know when I have &#8220;too many&#8221; stocks on the Long List, the market tends to temporarily top out. Well right now I have too many commodity stocks which no doubt benefit from a weak dollar. Perhaps this is a sign the dollar is oversold and due for a bounce which would most likely would push the market down.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Proximity to key levesl (Dow 10K, Nas previous support, S&amp;P a significant moving average) tells us to be more cautious.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The market&#8217;s reaction to earnings season was positive until this past Friday when AMZN and MSFT did great, but the market sold off anyways.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">All longs have very short leashes. On the short side, my preference is the ETFs or inverse ETFs.
