Fas/faz - 5/4

Discussion in 'ETFs' started by scot.mcpherson, May 4, 2009.

  1. You gotta love this market...Whoa!! Buy it all except the FAZ & Port's beloved TZA. Easter & Chritmas has been priced into this securities. But from what I'm seeing, this puppy is overbought. I will be surprised if we close strong to the upside...very surprised.

  3. Exactly.

    I took a long (FAS) when they both broke my aforementioned LH. Made 4% off that.

    But even though FAS/XLF/UYG are up huge......."the market"..... not so much. Sounds like no ones buyin' it in other sectors.

    FAS: Financial Bull 3x

    if banks like BAC, C, WFC are up 15% what do you expect FAS to be?

  6. Because bank stocks are the new Black. It's the best thing since slice bread. Everybody wants one.

  7. Sure, RIFIN is up approximately 7%....The market is in a strong bull rally, and the banks are hot.

    I predict that tomorrow RIFIN with either be up, down or sideways. I am leaning toward up though.
