How to Boost Your Returns With ONE Secret ETF Strategy

[Thierry Martin]

I don't want this to be some conspiracy theory thread, I am just curious as to what other people's opinions are on this subject. I am no economic expert, just a 20 year old Construction Management major trying to make some money in the stocks, but I don't want to be left out in the cold if something catastrophic does happen.

I also don't know if this is the right place for this thread, so please move it wherever acceptable.

Here it goes:

Does anyone else realistically foresee a large scale global economic collapse?

Isn't there only so much debt all the nations can pile up before something catastrophic happens? The US is bad, with $13 trillion dollars in debt, but that is nothing compared to Europe's situation right now with $136 Trillion (US equivalent)... With so much debt across all nations on virtually all continents, how in hell are we supposed to make that up? We simply cannot... The only way numbers could return to semi-normality would be massive deflation across virtually all nations. The economy in Europe seems to be going down the toilet, and when that happens, I see that as just foreshadowing for what could happen here in the US.

I am thinking of it in terms of credit card debt almost. When people get in over their heads in CC debt, usually they just file for bankruptcy. When a government gets in over their head in debt, what comes next?

Again, I am certainly no expert. These are just some thoughts that have been running through my head when reading about the economy and watching the news, and I want to know what other people see in all these facts.

Random Thoughts

The lack of follow through on Friday scores as a bummer. The indices remain set up as "Micro" First Thrusts down. The Rusty still has a Bowtie down. The indices are also beginning to take on a head & shoulders look to them. It's not the end of the world but it certainly is time to pull in your horns a bit.

As I've been saying, a few big up days would make all the difference in the world. Futures are getting clocked pre-market so it could be a little bumpy on the open. If we see the mother of all reversals from this, then we might have dodged a bullet. Anything less and we'll have to remain cautious.

Again, we remain in one-day-at-a-time mode. Therefore, the plan remains the same:

1)Honor your stops on existing positions just in case this turns into something bigger. 2)Be selective on new positions. Trade the best and leave the rest. 3)Wait for entries on new positions. Again, as I preach, this can often keep you out of new trouble. 4)Start thinking about firing off a short or two but keep #2 and #3 in mind.

Stock market finished slightly higher this past week as corporate earnings continued to outpace analysts' estimate. Although we are just two weeks into the earnings season, investors may turn back their focus into the economic fundamental ,where initial claims continued to exceed forecasts for 9 consecutive weeks, which are becoming a concern as the next employment data is approaching. While data remained weak on both jobs and housings front last week, the Treasury yield curve took a small step back into its initial rally point back in early March. Next week, the market will be focusing on the FOMC meeting and the first quarter GDP result, which will be a volatile week for the bond market.

Technical Highlights:
? Stocks are facing upward pressure from treasury yields as bonds continued to stay strong.
? The short term equity trend turned bearish as all three major indices failed to stay above their 50day moving average.
? RSMC rallied strong on both consumer staples and healthcare sectors, which indicates that money are flowing into the defensive stocks ahead of the next major trend start.
? Defensive stocks outperformed the market while all other sectors were holding small gains; Historical returns suggest that defensive stocks should continue to stay strong forward looking.
? While bonds are enjoying its low rates trading range, the short-term maturity bonds are suffering ahead of next week FOMC meeting.
