Health care & materials lift stocks – Bought Rydex 2x S&P 500 (RSU) April 19, 2011
Posted by Marlowe Cassetti in PIN, RSU.trackback
Encouraging results from health care and materials companies lifted U.S. stocks on Tuesday, but weak earnings from Goldman Sachs limited gains in a market skeptical of the growth outlook.
Investors were reluctant to make big bets as the market readied for a spate of high-profile earnings. Volume was extremely low, with 6.65 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, below last year’s daily average of 8.47 billion.

The RSI portfolio outperformed the market Tuesday with three holdings putting in+0.3R gains. The three losing positions were miniscule. Today I opened a position in Rydex 2x S&P 500 (RSU). I know I didn’t wait for its correction to run its course but the intraday chart suggested it had put in a local bottom. We shall see. RSI’s other pick, PowerShares India (PIN) may need more time before it completes its correction.
