In case you missed it, here’s a summary of the ETF topics and market reviews I posted to my blog during the week ending on 8/21/2011.
The S&P 500’s prior week’s loss of -1.7% now sounds like minor event as bearish forces gathered momentum and pushed this benchmark index down another -4.66% during the past five trading days despite Monday’s sharp rebound.
My global view has not changed, and I believe that these wide market swings are far from being over, although we could see a short rest period before the European debt crisis shifts into the next gear.
In any event, if you followed my sell stops rules, you should not have any equity exposure at this time with the possible exception of a couple of sector/country ETFs, or hedged positions.
