    A top in HOV?

    On this last up move from the lows at 1084.75 to 1121.75 close today. Looks like the whole sector is vulnerable to a big move down in the coming weeks ahead unless the SP500 makes a new high. New highs in the Bond market would be another thing to give this sector some support. But I'm...

    Forex auto-ex?

    Clandestine, The FX brokers show prices they can't / won't fill many times and it is a joke at times. Wish they would widen the spread a little during volatile times instead. Plus their prices are whatever they want them to be = license to steal. Wonder how many here have tried to trade...

    focus on a few stocks or many stocks

    My advice is pick 2 or 3 sectors. Find your favorite two in those sectors and trade those. Some days one sector will be dead and the other moves and vice versa. I prefer sectors where the stocks are highly correlated with stocks within that sector and the futures as well. For example, the...
