I am currently bearish on the stock market because it is overbought and vulnerable to a short term correction. To express my bearish opinion I am currently short oil through the DTO (oil ultrashort), May puts on Owens Illinois, and short positions in Freeport (FCX) and US Steel (X). I will be increasing my short positions on any further weakness. This remains a risky trade because I am going against the prevailing trend which is up. While I am net short I do have a few long positions: Dean foods (DF) because it is fundamentally cheap and could be a takeover target, Altria (MO) because it is a core 10% position in my portfolio that I will never sell, and Limoneira (LMNR.PK) which is a special case that I will explain later in depth. I am also long Nat Gas betting that it will get a short term boost after being killed over the last 30 days.
