As the month of September closes this week, I expect the stock market to dip over the next week or two.   I’ve always gotten the sense that the end of the third quarter brings a brief rally and then an immediate market drop the week or two after.  I suspect that mutual fund managers want to justify their expensive fees and holiday bonus so they push to drive up stock prices so all those quarterly statements  go out making bold claims, “We made xx% return for you this/these quarter(s)!”

As you excitedly read your statements, the mutual funds manager starts dumping stocks the following weeks.   I plan on buying any of the following tomorrow or Friday:  DXD (Double Short Dow), SDS (Double Short S&P), DOG (Short Dow 30), FXY (Japanese Yen).  FXY may seem like the odd man out but I’ve noticed that when the Dow rallies, FXY drops and vice versa.  There is a long complicated explanation for this but let’s just keep it simple:  I’m bullish on the Japanese Yen.

Keep in mind that it’s a short term play.  I’m looking to capture 2% to 3% return on these ETFs in the immediacy of the next few weeks.

As always, this isn’t advice for you to do anything, it’s just my way of getting rich slick.
