    Sorry for cross-posting but realized this is probably the right forum for this...

    As the debt ceiling looms and as the Obamacare versus Debt Ceiling debate is about to step up what would be some of the best ways to express a trade around the potential for a US default.

    Short the S&P
    Short the Dollar
    Short Bonds
    Long Gold
    Short the Banks

    All of the above or none of the above? Interested to get your thoughts?

    VIX?
     
  5. VIX is volatility, I meant when the markets are spooked, that's when you look for your buy signal.
