HAVING INTERNET PROBLEMS SO I HAVE TO CUT THIS SHORT TONIGNT

NO STOCK SELECTIONS ON TODAY’S BLOG & NO CHARTS

Today in the market Wednesday February 13, 2008: The market was up strong today on great sales news.  Is this a return of market optimism, or what?  Maybe the fears of recession have abated. 

RSI’s Themes: Include utilities, consumer staples (again), energy and Europe.  Quite a nice basket

ETF/CEF Low Volatility:

  • IDU – Utilities iShares
  • UTH – Utilities Holders
  • VDC – Vanguard Consumer Staples VIPERs
  • XLP – Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR

ETF/CEF Medium Volatility:

  • CEE – Central European Eqty Fund

Please treat these as preliminary recommendations.  My Wi-Fi connection is down and I have fallen back to dial-up service (ugh).  Therefore, I cannot fully validate these selections.  However, I believe the themes are correct.  I hope to have these problems rectified tomorrow.
