Majority in SPXU. Also SKF, SMN, SSG, REW. Thinking of lightening up on SMN because the US dollar looks like it could break down, and you would think weaker dollar means higher material prices. But also want to just follow the charts and stop rules.
Still long on some regional banks that haven't hit stops and have strong RS. HTBI, IBCP, SFNC, RNST
Thanks for the comparison. Like you I am short via short ETFs, but at whole index level. Specifically on FTSE100, S&P500 & DAX. Not made any money on these yet. Seeing whether they hit there stops or pan out.
Am long in a few remaining shares and also property, GPOR.L, IUKP.L and M&G property funds. The M&G funds, dealing in direct property, seem to have smaller returns than the best ETFs but the charts are very smooth, very low volatility, which seems an advantage right now.
A bit off topic for the US but really the best place to respond.
