It’s possible that if one did short the market for an extended period of time, you may have fared better financially over the long period by waiting until the market turned, than probing the market looking for that top.
Using real examples including December Crude Oil, December Silver, and December Corn, this article from Marc Nemenoff, Price Futures Group Analyst and author of the Nemenoff Report— examines potential trading strategies for futures trading during bubbles.
Marc Nemenoff’s 37 year career in the futures industry has given him experience in nearly every facet of the market. In 1973, while attending graduate school, he started as a runner on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and quickly rose within his organization to operations manager, market letter writer, and hedging strategy designer in both the Livestock and Financial sectors. Mr. Nemenoff was also a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange until 1991 trading mostly as an independent trader. Since 1992 Marc has been an independent “off the floor“ trader, lecturer, broker, and author of The Nemenoff Report.
