Sector Analysis 4 June 2012

by Steve Auger

I am seeing "red" all around.  The markets are looking for QE3 to prop up markets.  This will likely happen in the near future and when it does there will be massive short covering - the markets will "pop".   Keep this in mind - be bearish but be smart.  Don't be overly aggressive or you will get blown out...
