RE:Technical boost for banksThat's a pretty good way to do some due diligence.
The thing is, for people that are looking for investments that will pretty much cover all aspects of the market, a basket of banks in an investment vehicle such as BK is just about the best way to play things for income investors.
If you're looking to make a few capitol games, vehicles such as DF are a decent way to speculate.
There are others of course but with such extreme volatility, often being perpetrated by politicians that could care less about anything that doesn't effect them personally, investing in other plays can be very detrimental to the bottom line.
