Orderly giveback of 3.61% to 4.49% from huge gain of yesterday !!!

Markets are trying to digest yesterday's huge gain......

So far 3%+ to 4%+ giveback is happening......

NASDAQ is weakest of the indices..as NOK warned on handset sales worldwide..thus affecting chips & handset makers like MOT,QCOM,MRVL,BRCM,AAPL,RIMM......

In my portfolio :

Bought an ETF in Toronto HOU.TO which is an Oil BULL on Oil prices on NYMEX...I am betting that Oil will move HIGHER from here..EASY to bet on OIL prices than Oil stocks.....my cost $5.85...its 52 week high was $48.51.....DOWN 87.9%......

So I have HOU.TO & UYM......

@ 11.57 AM following are green in my watch list :

LVS,CROX,JASO,GOOG,V,PHM,DUG,SGP,GG.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Are you considering getting back into SOL prior to ER?

P/E: 2.39
Price/Book: 1.14

Its near a 52 week low but, considering oil prices should rise, the election, global warming, and the fact that smaller companies like these have a greater potential coming out of a recession. Why not take out a large position and hold? JMO... Thanks.

Humm,

I like HOU.TO. Looks like a no brainer to me, it's not like it can go bankrupt... lol...

Problem is I never followed ETFs before...

Thanks for the tip

Hi Madmax,

Do not worry about QLD..it will move UP with market....NASDAQ is making another BASE today....

Most of the bad news is in NASDAQ as we speak......

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your note re SOL.....

I am trying to stay in ETF only until market has moved UP from daily worries...which will not be until Jan 09.....

Solar are being exploited by analyst ...do not feel comfortable.

Good luck on your position in SOL.
