So guys.....
I have a little bit of extra cash in my account, and I was looking for a high risk / high reward type of stock to hold on to for the short term..
I was honestly thinking Wamu, or maybe Fannie or Freddie.
You guys have any suggestions?
I'l throw out a couple ideas for movement one way or t'other:
If oil continues to be weak then breaking through $120 as a psychological barrier could prompt a larger decline. US demand is weakening, supply is increasing, Arctic reserve estimates were upped, there are new regulations and investigations into manipulation, and so on. Of course all it will take to reverse is a more serious storm, Nigerian shens, or a breakdown of negotiations with Iran. HOD ETF or, indirectly, airlines are ways to play.
The solar sector has been weak -no thanks to new IPOs and a number of dilutive secondary offerings, plus WFR just shat the bed. A key earnings report is due from FSLR on 7/30 with CSIQ and SOL likewise on or around 8/14. Just read short interest in CSIQ is 22% of float. Jumped today on an upgrade.
