Market overvalued, short S&P 500.

Peter Grandich plans to short the S&P 500 for the first time since 2008, citing extreme overvaluation, overbought conditions, extreme bullish sentiment, early signs of a market peak (layoffs, expert shorting semiconductors), and a US economy that is in far worse shape than any time other than major declines. He is prepared to short aggressively if the market rallies, acknowledging risks from passive inflows but believing the downside outweighs them.

Gold watch above 4800 trigger.

Peter Grandich is watching gold but not currently long. He states that gold needs to close above $4,800 for at least two consecutive days or on a weekly close to flip the technicals and end its corrective phase. Until then, he expects further downside or consolidation.

Gold miners offer leverage to bull.

Peter Grandich has gone back into three or four gold mining shares, believing that the leverage in the gold bull market now comes from producers and explorers rather than physical metal. He sees gold eventually moving higher and prefers mining stocks for greater capital gains.

Rates rise, short bonds.

Peter Grandich is bearish on US Treasury bonds, expecting interest rates to rise. He believes a 10-year yield above 5% will cause a stock market correction. He sees rates moving higher due to the US debt crisis, foreign selling of Treasuries, and inflation pressures.
