A correction is coming – here's how to trade it

Good news, bad news – it doesn't matter. The stock market just keeps going up. Despite a slight dip on Friday, the FTSE 100 index is up by 26% since mid-2010. And the main US market, the S&P 500, has done even better. It's up by almost a third over the same period. And everyone, it seems, thinks there's more of the same in store. Take a look at the latest investor 'sentiment' surveys. There's hardly a bear to be found. They've all gone into hiding – or turned bullish. Which is exactly when you should start to worry.
