3/27/2008 5:37:31 PM I for one am using ETF's more these days. There are some , unlike say... QLD/QID, whose "investment vehicle" isnt as correlated as I might think. Todays example is SRS. Even though the real estate sector was one of the poorest performers today , this double inverse etf barely budged. GRRR!. Of course, now I have to do DD on SRS and several others. USO is another. It seems that one has to be aware of + or - "roll yield" as the next forward contract is purchased. My question is. What sites/sources of info are people using to research ETF's ? Now I am jumping from site to site to pick up scraps of info. Any direction would be appreciated. TIA. |

3/27/2008 7:52:20 PM Even though the real estate sector was one of the poorest performers today... Uhm, you might want to double-check that. Here's today's wrap-up on some of the largest homebuilders:
Well, let me take that back. Although I would think there's a high degree of correlation between the "real estate" and "residential construction" sectors, now that I had a closer look at its components perhaps the correlation ain't so high after all. But then again, the two of the largest holding, Simon Property (SPG) & ProLogis (PLD) were down only -0.17% and 0.61%, respectively. Perhaps that explains why ure ETF never moved much today. |

3/27/2008 11:33:52 PM Sorry, I am not a day trader. A belated welcome ( your 1st post the other day). Look to the current long running threads at the top of the forums for intra day tips. Good luck. |

4/4/2008 1:15:33 AM HI! ROCK Sorry to get you back late! I am still new to OP trading, so not so much to talk about. But I keep 90% winnning rate for OP short and 80% OP Long, so far not bad. I trade OP based on daily chart. If BOX move, I play short strangles (http://www.poweropt.com/shortstranglehelp.asp). I like shorting OP-PUT and having small LONG position same time when it dipps. Like this chart. 
There are many OP strategies you can use. OP is good way to make steady income. I suggest learning basics and play little. http://optionmonster.com/#action=home http://www.cboe.com/LearnCenter/ |

4/4/2008 1:23:25 AM >what signals you used for your entry /exit I do not use any specific signals. When chart forms good support I enter, and when it hits resistant level or when it runs I exit, that's all. I like swing trading better than day trading. |
