UCS end-of-week trading update

UCS end-of-week trading update: A-h-h, the joys of being patient. Trading activity was listless, most of the day. Around 2:00 pm, I thought traders had packed it in already and had decided to call it a week. Then all of a sudden BAM! UAW Members Approve GM Pact, the DOW turned positive, activity picked up, and the scramble was on to adjust positions before the end of the day.
The ProShares Technology Fund picked up steam like a ferry headed to the Bahamas for the weekend, closing north of $29.00 with the last trade at $29.55. The fund's share volume increased from 179,00 shares to 312,400 shares, which is not the above average volume I was looking for but good enough to make this a positive week after days of listless trading activity. Next week, I am hoping that the fund can crack the $30 range barrier- we will see. Otherwise, have a great weekend folks. 05/29/09 05:26:38 PM

I checked my models, macro numbers, company profits, software, pricing etc. Some of my option contracts were either worthless or were on their way to being worthless.   The pricing of the contracts were not in-line with the actual underlying price of the securities that I was trading. The options' pricing per contract were either priced 40% or more above what the underlying security was worth or priced 40% or more below what the securities were worth. This old reality was still the new reality even after all of financial fixes implemented to fix these same problems that contributed to the financial meltdown in 2007-2008.   The new Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and ConsumerProtection Act which was supposed to clean up many of the abuses in the financial system such as accountability, transpare

What to Buy- Foreign vs Domestic funds?

Calm before the storm. At least that's what I've been reading. It seems that there is still not much buying. Much of the buying seems to be just shifting funds from one account to the next. It's called "churning" in broker turns. So, I wanted to see if anyone was buying, you know, new money. I clicked on over the Investment Company Institute website to see if they could shed some light on this matter. Based on their recent reports, "Estimated inflows to long-term mutual funds were $ 12.48 billion for the week ended Wednesday, June 10, 2009 ", versus $ 13.646 billion for the week of June 3. At least it wasn't negative. There is buying. As a matter of fact, buying has almost doubled compared to inflow numbers reported in May. I also noticed that Equity Foreign Funds had a larger percentage increase than other categories while Taxable Bond Funds had a noticeable percentage decrease in inflows as compared to the previous periods. Interesting. Are in
