UltraShort ETF’s

Added more shares of ProShares UltraShort Financials ETF (SKF) @ $76.00. This sector has been on fire and I continue to believe that it is due for a pullback. I will be paying close attention to bank earnings when they are reported next week.

Added more shares of ProShares UltraShort Real Estate ETF (SRS) @ $38.50.

Added Shares

Bought more shares of UltraShort Financials ETF(SKF) and UltraShort Real Estate ETF(SRS). There are rumors that the SEC will reinstate the uptick rule thus making ETF’s like these irrelevant. I think that these ETF’s are a solid option right now as financials have experienced a huge run up over the past month.

I sold off some of my Mittal Steel(MT) shares. The stock has risen over 24% in less than a week and I figured that it would be best to take some profits.

Financials Look OverBought

Financial stocks have had a huge run up over the past 4 weeks. They have come off their 52 week lows and some have tripled in value. While I do not believe that financial stocks are going back to their 52 week lows; I believe that financial stocks are due for a pullback. My first move for Friday is to pick up some shares of the UltraShort Financial ETF (SKF). This ETF just hit a new 52 week low today of $85 and closed at $88. I think this is a good short term hedge against any pullback in bank stocks.
