Did you implement the long short consumer staple vs discretionary trade with XLP and XLY or is there a better way?

Was wondering bc you mentionded the tickers for the other trades, but not this one.

Thx for the sector vs inflation correlation chart! (First time I've seen this one, which is strange given the circumstances.)

thx Andreas for your phantastic work and transparent investment agenda. When we look to German equities and the grim medium term outlook of the EU lokomotive, have you also considered to short Dax with its sclerosis of its automotive and industrial backbone and the highly overpriced vulnerable Tec Dax..in this inflation driven environment, high input costs, paradigm shift of Green Deal, alongside the recession narrative?

Waiting for ISM to fall to the 40-44 range where historically valuations trough. Let's see if we get there, might have to scale in before to not lose my entry.

Andreas, is there an equivalent to SALL? I can't buy. Thanks for your great service

Agreed, I found that SALL is only listed on the London stock exchange, and I couldn't find an equivalent ETF for US markets.
