One word: OIL

stocktadr..

You and I think alike. Got into UCO 2 days ago and sold for a nice 27% gain. If/when oil retraces from these levels, will look to get back in. Also bought TBT (small position)- will add in the coming weeks. I agree the market could go higher, but it is really overbought right now and has gone up on low volume, so who knows what next week might bring. I am not ready to go long here! What do you think about SRS? Thinking about taking a very small position. It was up today despite the up day. REITS are finally starting to roll over.

Yes, UCO was one that really paid off big. DXO paid even bigger. However, when you know I only made 15% net average across the three I bought, you see I sold too early. This is what just slightly better timing would have yielded me on the three I bought:

DXO: 2.00 to 3.28 (64%)

UCO: 10.69 to 15.66 (46%)

USL: 28.16 to 32 (14%)

About SRS?

I wish I had bought that back in Sept. It is amazing that turned into a 2.5 bagger.

I think you might seek out a tool to get short exposure specifically to commercial real estate markets. For example, you want short exposure to the hundreds of malls across the USA that will certainly go belly up. Let me know if you find the right investment tool for that.

DXO is a little too risky for me. I just got lucky with my trade on UCO. Had a feeling that shorts would not want to go into the weekend short with the conflict in the Middle East, so I resisted the urge to sell in the morning and doubled my profits. Just hope all hell doesn’t break loose in the Middle East this weekend (especially due to the death and destruction). Can’t even imagine what it would be like to have bombs/missile exploding around me. Makes me stop and realize how lucky we are to live in the US despite it’s many faults. Good luck in your trades. Hope we can both get back into oil at lower levels. gl

My GREAT REGRET about those oil ETF trades of mine is I missed the bottom because I was so busy with the holidays. I even thought that markets were closed on the 24th; I didn’t check oil prices until late afternoon , then I saw it had been a trading day and oil ETF’s had hit new lows. If I had seen that during the trading day, I would have moved at least 25% of my entire portfolio into those long oil sector ETF’s that day. With oil having hit $34, you simply couldn’t lose, but I missed the bottom. Let’s hope deflation brings us another opportunity: how about $30 oil!
