- Animal Care ETF Seems to Be a Drool-and-Pant-Worthy Idea
-
An animal care exchange traded fund (ETF) could be an idea whose time has come.
Anyone who has a pet is all-too-familiar with the vet and the worry that comes with each visit: What’s wrong with my animal? How much is this going to cost? And many people will spend whatever it takes to get their furry friend back to his old spunky self. Why shouldn’t pet lovers be allowed to capitalize on that desire, too?

- 5 Trades This Morning - AA, BNI, FCX, JOYG, KFT

As I wrote earlier today I had a lot of option assignments from this past Friday’s option expiration. Kraft (KFT) was one from earlier in the month as an early assignment. I held it for two weeks without selling covered calls on it. KFT closed at $28.70 the day before my shares were assigned. Today I closed my position when I s…

- Time for Reader Input: Does the VIX Have Market Timing Value?

I am going to try something different today: I’ll frame an issue in the context of an article from a highly regarded pundit, skip my own commentary, and ask for readers to weigh in with their thoughts. We’ll see how this works, if it works at all… First, a quick summary of the pundit and the issue. Mark Hulbert, who I happen to think highly of, is out today with an interesting point of view in P…

- Keep An Eye on XLF, XHB, XLY and XLE for Rally Strength

We discussed about the VIX and I gave my opinion that the market could turn last week. For the last few days, we’ve been seeing rallies in the market, especially in the weak oversold sectors like Financials, Homebuilders and Consumer Discretionary. We’ve also seen continued sell-off in Coal and Steel sectors after brief spell of consolidation. As I said on 9 Jul, w…

- Bank Shorts
-
This recent rally in financials creates a few great shorting opportunities. However, I think that the group will start to diverge internally. What I mean by that is that I think the survivors will start to seperate themselves from the overall trend, and the weaker players will continue to struggle. As I have sorted through the group and looked at several charts, I have decided on a few set-ups that I like, and I have also decided to stay away from the “major players” with the exception of Lehman; which I still believe will be the next Bear Sterns. Here are a few charts that illustrate a few easy to manage put plays.
