Thanks for your comments S2007S! Yes! I have been burned a couple of times with these leveraged and inverse ETFs. Quick profit taking might be key. Thanks again!

increasenow, Thanks for your comment. I agree with the vol issue, I have been trading very low numbers with the ones with low volumes. Ideally I would like to trade ETFs who at least have 100,000 in average volume. I personally feel QQQQ and SPY are over monitored and could be good...

Good Morning! As of this moment, I am very tempted to lock in some profits. I cannot claim my expertise in futures to predict market movements. But as a precaution, I have tightened my stops. Have a Great Day!

Winstontj, Thanks for your comment! One can perhaps do this on any time scale. My research shows that there isn't much change in the rankings on a daily basis. I prefer to use a weekly time frame for ETFs. I am sure things work different for stocks. I am yet to get my head...

MacDRider, Thanks for your wise words, I like the notion that it might be time to lock in some profits. Those Mar futures on Oil do sound intriguing. I might tighten my stop. Thanks a lot.
