    Looking for some input on $SKYY, cloud computing equal weighted ETF. I’m interested in the fundamentals, not so much a technical analysis.

    I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the reports on home building rebounding. Does it seem appropiate to get out of multi-family REIT’s?

    • There may be home building rebounding. I don’t believe there will be a massive housing ever again. I have not look much into multi-family REIT. I am mostly on into “office and corporate mortgage” REIT. If you are into cashflow, I would not sell multi-family REIT, but stop looking for multi-family REIT and start looking for Office REIT while…[Read more]

    First things first, define your goals; are you looking to have a more active hand managing investments for your retirement? Or are you trying to get in on some ”action”?

    In reply to: Bryan posted an update Let’s see if Bernanke is going to implement QE3. What do you think? View

    It seems the bulls are certainly expecting, but I am curious as to how long this ”bond bubble” can continue. From QE2 with 10 year treasuries @ 3.25% – 3.5% to today at 1.5%… seems counter-intuitive to me.

    I am leaning toward Energy MLP’s, despite the tax headache at years end. I say that provided oil avoids the $65.00 dollar mark. I think good value combined with nice dividend makes these attractive in this environment. I would not be a seller of almost anything at this time, far too often retail investors sell into weakness and buy into hype.

    The chart is a daily one therefore the Williams% (3) calculates the three previous days and obviously the RSI (2) is a two day

    I hate attempting to forecast, but… EUR/USD trading at 1.24595, doing a little bit of technical analysis (on a daily chart) shows as follows: Williams % R (3 periods) shows -96.450 and Wilder’s Relative Strength Indicator (2 periods) shows 15.5983 .

    • Williams % R (3 periods) and Relative Strength Indicator (2 periods) are very short periods. It sure will created many whiplashes. The only things that I see useful if you are seeking for narrow point of divergence to the price that are price volatility or trading narrow channels.

    If you are just looking for yield, try the Reit ARR, it is a bit overbought at the moment, but a great ”parking” spot.

    Mandy, I agree with you, the only two emotions the market recognizes are greed and fear. An economy roughly the size of Massachusetts, in theory wouldn’t have the power to topple the European Union, but perception rarely coincides with reality. Spain and Portugal would be forced to offer incredible rates just to continue to finance their debt.…[Read more]

    The flight to the bond market is predicated on the Greek exit (and the slow down in China) note : the Aussie/ USD hit the .97 range today.

      I think Germany will continue to help, but only for so long. The band-aids don’t seem like a good sustainable solution. I’ve just been opening long positions in the $EUO as a hedge and will likely continue to do so for a while.

      Targeting 1.20 using the $EUO for leverage, just for a short term trade… Watch those spanish yields as well.

    • I rather have someone disagree with me so I can learn from another point of view.

      • For the record, I disagree with cybereye on someone disageeing with cybereye. ce, stop being so good in your technicals and maybe someone will disagree. Haha, we probably could use a few more technicians in here.

        • [cybereye's roll eyes]Darn, I can’t disgree with Ray on this one. I’m still waiting someone to disagree other than Ray. If someone post a chart without explain what their view is I either analysis it or challenge the person’s skills of that view.
