Graphic_arrow1 Via FastSwings.com - Steve Patterson:  

A technology trade that will be somewhat market neutral is
the combination of shorting VMWare (VMW) and being long International Business
Machines (IBM). If the market stays in a trading pattern you will be able to
profit on both the long and the short side of this trade.
