UK short sellers are showing no signs of slowing down in the current market, yet investors relying on publically disclosed short positions are only seeing the tip of the shorting iceberg.

Oil and commodities are driving the FTSE down heavily. The rest of it is on Chinese growth going down.

But low Oil and commodities is great news for everyone else - Once the Chinese position is clear the market will take off again. The Saudi's are fighting it out with US Shale oil producers, once that stops, and it will be soon, the Oil price will increase, this will be a negative factor.

What will you use to buy the oil? More credit?

Question is:

All the smart money that sold everything around the time the FTSE topped 7000, what are they buying now that equities are tanking? Where's the smart money heading?

Let the amateurs catch the falling knife as the FTSE bounces off 3000 next year.....

Well hard to say - not gold, not commodities, not stocks... whats left.. bitcoin?

* This is not investment advice. The value of equities can rise or fall, as many losers have found losing, both, their home and the shirt off their back.

well 15 years on stock market, i've seen couple of crisises. If you have oil - sell. if anything else - wait.
This doesnt look like a big crisis, nothing went bankrupt etc, yet...
So for now it looks like buying oportunity , at least in the UK.

Have a look at USDRUB russians didn't see it coming

"There is no means of avoiding a final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."
