Let me just start off my blog on Zecco.com by being bearish. September is historically the worst month for bulls and this year might not be much different. The positive run in August on grim economic numbers indicates the market has run out of reasons to move. Besides, money managers who made money in August will now look to unload stocks to retain their gains. I believe September will be a down month - the carnage has already started as of this week - and we will see the market bottoming in October sometime.
Meanwhile, stay defensive and sell into any rally this week - although I don't expect much of a rally.
