After languishing\u00a0in “neutral” mode since late September, our proprietary market timing system<\/a> triggered a fresh “sell” signal to equity swing traders on October 10.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, we immediately closed out existing long positions and are no longer to stalking the buy side of the stock market for new trade entries.<\/p>\n

Moreover, last week’s\u00a0rule-based shift to “sell” mode, the first in more than six months, means we are now free to begin looking for potential short selling opportunities<\/strong> as well (here<\/a> is\u00a0a basic primer on short selling).<\/p>\n

While the long-term “buy and hold” investors thrive on\u00a0strong uptrends in the market, a huge benefit of\u00a0momentum trend trading when the going gets rough is the ability to profit on\u00a0both<\/em> sides of the market (long and short).<\/p>\n

Keep on\u00a0reading to understand why the long side of the market has now become quite risky, as well as to learn a specific chart pattern that will\u00a0help you find the best stocks to sell short\u00a0in a weak market (I will even show you a stock\u00a0that may be actionable for short entry\u00a0in the coming weeks).<\/p>\n
