Stock Picks For 3/2/09

"Change .....ALL Your Change" is the caption from the NY Sunday Post News. It shows a cowering Tax Payer in the corner clutching his Piggy Bank , and Obama, with a hammer, along with Pelosi and Reed all standing menancingly in the shadows LOL
Warren Buffet says 2008 was his worst year in his 44yr history , and also intimates that the 2009 economy will be in SHAMBLES for the rest of the year. Does that instill confidence LOL!
My Advice GO SHORT....think positive and make money.
Below is a list of shorts I have placed into an AOL portfolio. 25 K ws divided equally among the 10 SHORT Positions. If you cant go short simply buy the ETFs DXB , which double shorts the Dow, and SKF which double shorts the financials .
Good Luck , Stay Calm, Think Green and before us is the opportunity to make some of the best money in a lifetime .

1. DXD LONG
2. SKF LONG

In the Portfolio below ALL SHORTS !

Peter,

I think I understand. When you short a stock you are hoping it goes down right? The order would be to "sell short" and then "buy to cover" later. Now, when you say to use the ETF's, I would want to "buy" right?? So, would I want the ETF's to go up then?? Right now SKF is up a litter over 2%. Am I close here?
Thanks

[Peter Hansen]

Steel U are right

Short means you HOPE the Stock Tanks. Yes "SELL SHORT" would be your brokerage order I Happen to use Td ameritrade 7 Dollars per trade!
The ETFS I usually list are simply bought Long ,just as any other stock, but in reality they bet the index they represent to go DOWN!
I would use trailing stops, or at least have a stop to protect you from violent moves up or down!
Shorts mean that you place the stop, or buy to cover ABOVE , the current price . Long stops are placed below the current price .

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

[steelman]

It does, a lot. Thank you. Just one last thing for clarification, When I "buy" an ETF, do I want the price to go up or down? Right now, SKF is up over 4%. Would I be happy?

I am gaining knowledge here, filling my quiver.
