I am long LVS now at 69. I'm tired of the option manipulations. Shares seem safer to bet on right on.
Resist the temptation of becoming the "bali ka bakra"!! If SPY touches 150, then buy SDS!
I have listed several 'plays' for this market - UUP, TLT puts, PMF, PML etc etc ...check out my past recommendations too....
I have been consistent with my recommendations and have been right on target for the most part....
how does it work? thx.
If you are hellbent on being bullish on some stock, then a very high-risk investment would be airlines....Oil prices may have hit an intermediate top and prices may tumble, giving airline stocks a spike....however, I would advise you to stay away from the market unless somebody has a gun against your head!
Let me verify -
Invest $100 in SPY, $100 in SDS. Portfolio $200.
SPY drops 1% to $99. SDS gains 2% to $102. Portfolio $201.
SPY gains 1% to $101. SDS drops 2% to $98. Portfolio $199.
Ah. dont bother.
All dogs...
HD is definitely going to disappoint.....credit crunch and home price declines are going to hit it very badly. Check the results for Lowes before putting down any money on HD...the co has not downward revised its 2008 earnings...meaning it is setting itself up for disappointment
MSFT might be relatively safe...dont expect spectacular returns anyways....but is a good 'preservation of capital' play.
IIF.....stay away....don't touch with a six-feet pole!!!
MSFT went below 28, for no apparent reason. Good time to buy for either short-or-long term.
IIF - I have been observing for last 5 years - it goes below $40, comes back up to $45 - apparently 100s of times in an year. I do not plan to keep it. Take my few % gain and leave it.
We read in news that indicators are showing a bounce. That is there may not be a recession or even a small growth in coming quarters. What is your thinking? To put more money into market or stay on sidelines?
Agri stocks are still hot. What do you think?
Any sector rising now?
