Short India 4450
Markets remain trading within a tight range -triangulating into a narrow band ready to make a definitive move (up or down is anyones guess). Given our existing positions, we will not be going over the top. We will, though, open another short India at 4450 (the only market that is up 2.6% today) $5/point. We partially closed soem of our naked short India position in our personal portfolio on Wednesday when India sank by 3.6% at 4100, but for the purpose of the Challenge we leave that short open (Rule: Take some profits when it is there). Is India a leading indicator? Maybe - so if you are risk adverse we suggest opening a long Hang Seng or China - currently trading at 10300 (the latter correlates better with India, both being “emerging markets”).

Short Retail Australia Trades Update | Long Cash Backed Resource Companies Short Tech Companies

We wrote in August 2010 that we were shorting Australian Retail - that the "good times" won't last forever. Going to shopping centres back then, one would not be aware that the world just went through GFC a year or so ago. Australia was "insulated" from the outside world as people continued to spend. This is from our post on ... continue -

Invariably, it will overshoot that mark. Our personal Netflix holdings are in at $67 - Taking half off the table at $120 will mean the rest of ... continue -
