Any stocks recommended in these pages besides metals and miners are likely to be "all one market" plays when the DJIA and S+P breaks down. Inverse ETFs like VXX or TVIX or FAZ are going to be the big winners.
Case in point is Staples which I mentioned in this post as being one to watch for upside potential. Well, it just triggered a sell signal by forming 5 waves down. It's likely going to plummet to sub $5 according to what I see here. I always say that one of the big value of Elliott waves is to give buy signals but the more important value is that it also gives sell signals. I think that if the DJIA were not about to break down that we would have seen a double bottom here.
Same is true for AMD. I think it would have had good bounce potential but not if the DJIA and S+P are falling, no way. If you don't like to go short then at least internalize this: cash is an asset class too! Avoiding a big loss is actually better than making a profit in some ways because you don't have to pay taxes on losses that you avoid.
A penny saved is in fact better than a penny earned because of taxation.
