Opened a position in SRS averaged at 132.80 Stop-loss if the stock is closed below $115.00
Reason: SRS is the ultra-short ETF for Dow Jones Real Estate Index. Technically, the Real Estate Index has broken several key support levels and now is in clear downtrend. Fundamentally, with record amount of new commercial spaces coming to market this year and 2009, it is difficult for the commercial renting market to hold at the current level even if economy is not weakening.
