    What's wrong with DUG?

    If you look at the daily holdings for the last 5- 6 months or so then you see that it holds swaps and cash. Even they say it have the ability to hold stocks, options and futures, they have (as far as i have been tracking it) been holding the swaps. The fairly new ETF DOY holds cash and...

    What's wrong with DUG?

    NO. You really do not get it. DUG does not hold stocks. DUG is not the reverse of DIG. DUG does not hold stocks. I give up.

    What's wrong with DUG?

    DUG is NOT the Dow jones Oil and Index!!! LOOK IT UP. READ IT. It holds SWAPS as i said. Not sure why this is so hard to understand, but your reply is the reason why pro guys like myself do often not bother to reply.

    What's wrong with DUG?

    I am not wrong on this one at all. Why don't you study this ETF before you reply. It does NOT hold any oil and gas stock at all. NONE. READ before you reply and look at the actual holdings of DUG. None of them are stocks.

    What's wrong with DUG?

    It does not work like that (shorts covering). I advise you read the prospectus (www.proshares.com) Even if oil is going down on a day, it can happen that you wake up and your DUG is down also. Its not a one day oil play. If you want to trade oil , its best to buy or short the USO or CL...

    What's wrong with DUG?

    HUH? Oil company stocks? This is not an ETF with oil company stocks. It holds DJUSEN swaps (& cash) to simulate shorting the Dow Jones Oil & Gas index (times 2) Its up because people are loading up on it. Happend 3 weeks ago also on a Friday afternoon, oil was down the monday after.

    Just Shorted Crude at 142.47

    I would wait with shorting until next Thursday , when the ECB is meeting. If they decide to increase the interest rate, i would buy oil and gold and short the dollar. If they lower, oil will go down and the Euro will go down. Just my 2 cents

    Searching for TOP mentoring program in options

    How you know this guy is good? I looked at his site. No where it states his actual trades (just a watch list). No p/l, no statement or overview of his performance? He states about "don't believe me, watch me" , but watch where? All i see is someone writing a blog without any proof. He might...

    RIMM earnings

    Yes, i have seen that one. I agree with you s2007 that it looks good, lots of features. Its just not an apple product and thats the whole point. The same has happened with the ipod. Lots of good mp3 players around, better features and bla bla, but we all know who has the market share...

    RIMM earnings

    Samsung has almost no impact on the iphone. Reviews are not that great, expensive plans, $ 129,-- purchase price , no 8 gb flash (comes with only 2gb microSD), misses the design style of the iphone. Most important, does not have the software platform the iphone has. I don't care about...

    ThinkorSwim good for equities and futures trading?

    I like TOS for options, not for futures and its pretty bad for stocks (and to expensive)

    RIMM earnings

    This might be actually confirming that Apple is taking more market share from Rimm then expected. Good for Apple.

    Discussion of Crude Oil technicals- emotion-free technical conversation...

    What options are you buying? I believe the main problem still is the dollar. The action today from the Fed didn't help much. On long term i believe CL has to come down. Anyone watched the two analysts yesterday on PBS?

    RIMM earnings

    I disagree. They missed the low end, not even the high end. Smoking high PE, lower forecast. This stock must beat every time for it to go up. Apple beat before and had a lower forecast. Stock went from 202 to 115. (disclaimer, i was short before earnings)
