Why I sold FXEN, One day too early... August 11, 2008
This is actually more like a selling rational...Here goes...
Well, chalk it up to either a poor decision from a beginner, or just a potential flaw in my trading system, or maybe some combination of the two. Hopefully, it is more the latter. My thinking was this:
~ I don't hold stocks through earnings release, at least in most cases. I trade based on technicals. And technicals get trumped by news. While there is a potential for news at any time, one time you are guaranteed to get news is......

DUG May 24, 2008
Again, this is based on the mechanical system looking at BPENER and its 9MA. The signal was given on 5/22. I sold DIG (at a 10.35% gain in 10 trading days), and purchased DUG.
Stochastics(60,3,3) crossed down through 80 on 5/23, and the Renko chart is giving a buy signal now too.
I'm not necessarily thinking this will be a long term hold, but, who knows. With DIG and DUG, I'm going to stick with the system. Oil may be due for a major top...or just a quick correction.

DXD - Market correction gets going May 24, 2008
The slow stochastics I use during a bear market (60,3,3) crossed down through 80 the the DOW 5/21. The same stochastics crossed up through 20 on DXD. If there is a bit of a push up for the market (down for DXD), I don't think it should be much. A renko chart gives buy signal as well.
Initial resistance at 55, and then at 57.60.

Gold Stocks May 20, 2008
