RE: RE: RE: RE: HNG and general economySG, I think I will play it pretty tight. If I were to go long on a bank I would cover with a cheap put. If I went short on anything I think I would have a cheap call as insurance. The DOW will tell us the direction in the overall market and it is a way out of sink with the Nikkei at the moment. It looks like they are still selling into strength but oil is holding up very well so still have an open mind as to any turn around. NG and Uranium just may be the signal of any long term turn around if they should get some legs under them. Both are in the dog house and have been for some time. But I really don't think we can go wrong by buying oil stocks or pm's on weakness and watch a trend break for taking profit down the road. In general I expect these swings back and forth for some time to come. Presently I have a mixed bag. Short BNS, long YRI, TNX, PDL and AEM(as of last week), and have both HNU and HND for weekly trading. CCO may be ripe for a (short) short play. So that is about it for me.
