UCS Morning Update

06/02/09 08:52:26 AM

UCS trading-ahead update: I am sitting here thinking that the markets have moved up substantially since March, 2009. Will they go higher? I want to believe that the markets will go higher, but that voice in the back of my head is still saying it's too soon; the fundamentals in many sectors are just not there yet; inflation is still lurking; trillions of dollars that have gone up in smoke just does not reappear overnight. Not too long ago, I was considering the short etf funds as viable investment alternatives, like the ProShares Ultra Short Financials or the ProShares Ultra Short Real Estate, but so far their results have not been stellar (literally) in these Short funds.

I respect the markets and I just believe that when you are going short you've got to have a stomach of a 'billy goat', cause its going to be rough climbing to get to the nice grass. I may consider taking a position in the ProShares Technology Fund today. It all depends on the overall market's momentum and the technical indicators off the fund. However, after reading today's pre-opening update on WSJ Online, I may have to wait. We'll see.

Semiconductor Conundrum

By Rick Walter Last weekend I worked on a new semiconductor portfolio because I thought that although the price to earnings ratio of many of the companies in the industry are still too high (P/E's of companies in this industry typically runs very high), there still may be an opportunity to take a position in the industry and make some money. Although knowing what companies to buy in this industry may be the ultimate conundrum. This sector is ferociously competitive and over the years even the best companies, such as AMD , Rambus and Novellus Sys have succumbed to the price pressures of the competitiveness in the market. Of course, most of the pressures in this market have stemmed from the relentless drive of Asian chip manufacturers quest to completely dominate the market through a combination of foreign currency exchange rate manipulation of the Renmimbi (Yuan) and cheap labor. Their domination of the markets has also been helped by a global market with an insatiable demand for...

Goodbye Mike

Before I get going today, lets take a moment to honor an American Idol, a Music Titan , and a Perfect Representation of the Gods of Music ; I would like to send my condolences and respect to the Jackson family for the sudden passing of Michael Jackson . I am profoundly saddened by his death. I was trying to ignore the whole event- news of his death . It seemed like some sort of bad dream at first. However, reality has set in this morning and have left me almost speechless. Goodbye Michael! You will always be missed! 6/26/2009 9:41 AM
