UYG: Bull or Bear?

Short Term Market Pullback! Graphic_rating_sell UYG

The S&P 500 closed at 768.54 down 15.50 (1.98%).  If the S&P 500 breaks below 760, we could see a move down to 740.  The Dow closed at 7278.38 down 122.42 (1.65%)  The Russell 1000 closed at 417.54 down 8.69 (2.04%).  The Russell 2000 closed at 400.11 down 13.15 (3.18%). 

Next week will decide the extent of this short-term pullback.  With March 31 fast approaching, I would expect to see all the markets make a nice move off the lows which will probably occur some time next week.

<> After this next pullback we should see a rally back to 8,000 on the Dow and 800-820 on ...

Financials Short Term Rally! Graphic_rating_buy UYG

(closed on 03/12/09)
The financial sector appears to have bottomed over the last couple of days.  House hearings on Mark to Market accounting are scheduled for Thursday.  If there is any hint of suspension or repeal of Mark to Market accounting will send the financial sector into a nice short-term rally.  If they reinstated the uptick rule that would be icing on the cake.  The only negative is that the Treasury Secretary is scheduled to appear before Congress and anytime he speaks it seems to trigger a negative response in the markets.

Don't Believe the Lies: Ride the Bank Stocks Bull Graphic_rating_buy UYG
-73.65%
in 478 days

Wall Street's top ranked bank analyst, Tom Brown, says, "bank stocks have bottomed." "If you wait for the good news, you'll wait too long," says Brown of Bankstocks.com.

Brown believes many bank stocks are selling at rock bottom prices, calling them "extraordinarily undervalued." Brown thinks we are at the beginning of "the greatest financial stock bull market in our lifetime." He writes, "the bears have things all backwards. By the time their wish list happens, the stocks will be zooming"

If someone offered you an investment that you knew would go down 10% in the short term but with in 2 years would be up over 50% BUT you had to invest right now...would you do it?

<> I would. UYG is that play. There is very very near the bottom here. All write downs are non-recurring revenue on the balance sheet. Which means not including the mark to market write downs these companies are just as healthy as they were two years. And these financial institutions have had very little trouble raising needed capital. Most of the trouble has been priced into the financial sector already. Time t...

Aggresive Investors Should Ante Up with ProShares Ultra Financial ETF Graphic_rating_buy UYG
-72.28%
in 503 days

If you agree with me that the battered U.S. financial market is at or near the bottom, the ProShares Ultra Financial ETF (AMEX: UYG) offers the dual advantages of one-stop shopping and leverage. It's not an investment for the faint-of-heart, but there is potential for a big capital gain for those who can deal with risk.

<><>The objective of this ETF is to earn returns before expenses and fees that correspond to twice the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index. As you might expect, this fund has been absolutely hammered as a result of the subprime crisis, the credit crunch, th...

Week 48 Major Position Changes

Fund positions of 1.0% or greater can be found each week in the right margin of the blog, under the label cloud and recent comments areas; I highlight weekly the larger position changes.

Being a long only fund, via Marketocracy rules, the only hedges to the downside I have are cash or buying short ETFs. I cannot short individual equities.

To see historic weekly fund changes click here OR the label at the bottom of this entry entitled 'fund positions'.

Cash: 3.2% (vs 20.2% last week)
60 long bias: 86.5% (vs 64.6% last week)
9 short bias: 10.3% (vs 15.2% last week)

Impressive bounce off that 1260 level on the S&P. Like a magnet the market bounced to S&P 1275.... (thanks PPT) and away we go to 1280s. Reader Shax is happy and smug somewhere in Asia with his 100% long exposure. I just cannot see a break through that 1260 on the first attempt with all the King's Horses and all the King's Men here to socialize the market, all over again. They have charts too and realize how important this level is. It's going to take repeated attempts I believe, to break through their purchasing power.

Frankly at this point we have 2 outcomes (a) crash i.e. a 10% drop ...

No other industry sector is more hated by Wall Street then Financials, for good reason. However at this date, going into a sure half point FED rate cut, the time for the UYG trade is now.

Contains all the top names and moves at 2xs the rate. Buy half now, the other half on any further dips going into the FED rate cut. 

If we dont get the cut, sell the stock. If we do, hang on 20% returns will be yours by Christmas.
