RE:HVU hick-ups I was out of ammo at about $29! But I'm a longer timeframe than the surfer as I target larger moves (although not typically this long!). I thought HVU was faring pretty well given the move in S&P. IMO the holding pattern just the market trying to convert the last few bears to bulls, or "abandon ship! mates".
Except in my opinion the ship is only in 3 feet of water! Arrrr, I'm holding course matey!
