    The article was informative. Nowhere did she /he make any recommendation only that:

    In the report, Mazzilli and his team evaluated 45 ETFs spread out among 14 industries, ranging from semiconductors to pharmaceuticals. They highlighted the following seven ETFs that provide large-company exposure to industries currently rated "attractive" by Morgan Stanley.

    rated attractive by Morgan Stanley is not a recommendation.

    700 ETFs and Counting: A Bird's-eye View [view article]
    very nice overview I've been looking for this info for a while... can you possibly cover ETFs traded on the London Stock Exchange? and make some sort of sense of where they overlap with US ones? Reply

    ETF Update: Alternative Energy Regains Interest [view article]
    Ethanol will not have a place in a CNG(TBOONE) oriented society. I have yet to see uses for ethanol other than a Gasoline replacement. It will not have a future if CNG is adopted. I'm talking in years not overnight.

    I do not have a Clue as to what other alternative energy companies will disapear in their entirety if an Energy Policy based on CNG vehicles is adopted. But I have to assume that many ETFs will integrate those with no future in their structures.

    What would be interesting is a Screened Selection of ETFs which would have enhanced prospects if a TBoone based CNG Energy Policy were adopted.     Reply

    Three Charts To Ponder: Oil Services, Oil, and the Pound [view article]

    Yes, thats why most Chartists use Parallel lines to emphasize the channel of a given Chart, if one exists. Breaking out of that channel, either direction is significant. Another useful application is the use of the Bollinger Band which is often used as a substitute when a Clear Channel isn't established.

    I go to BIGCHARTS.com and utilize Bollinger, Volume, MACD and Cash Flow on a normal everyday basis. If I want to play games with the pretty pictures, I will print the chart and start drawing. Elliot Wave, Gann, Fibbonaci are all more advanced but the simplest is Fib.

    Anyone who cares to pay attention would know the housing slump has seemingly reached British shores now and thus a slump in the pound is an expected outcome. Therefore acting on this chart which was wisely included IMO is probably a prudent course of action at the present time. A trendline drawn along tops indicates resistance, yes? Reply

    Oh, leh, why don't you have your options trader take a look at the Charts posted here so he can tell you his interpretation. Then you can come back with an explanation which will derail not only mine but also "folly's" interpretation.

    Charts are used to attempt to divine the future from the past. Meanwhile Commodity traders are more likely to use Fibbonaci and MACD rather than charts for short term fluctuations. There are no fixed relationships otherwise there would not be so many charting services.

    I have been Charting since 1974, I've lost more options trades than I have won. Ask the options trader about his percentages. Not whether he is making money overall, just win/total percentage.

    If you can't take the heat, stay out of the Kitchen.     Reply

    Please tell me how I would be expected to know That the Pound is included only for show? The Charts are Useful, the trendlines and expectations therefrom are only in the "eye of the Person" drawing them and making inferences from them.

    If there is no reason to include the Pound, why include it? I called the CRB to hold 380 and oil $110-111 weeks ago. Using long term 40 year charts on the CRB and 5 year oil, Oil is an almost perfect Fib. retracement which was supported by a trendline connecting the tops of last 3 years and extending same into the present.

    You don't like my comments, don't read them. Those people who write Articles just to attract the attention of people who agree with whatever is written, should only post them on their own Web Sites.

    Take the Pound, just from the Chart provided, I would draw a line connecting the two tops shown and a Parallel line which ...gee, there is no breakdown. The Pound is still holding within an uptrend and now has 3 points of support.

    Charts involve mechanical input but artistic interpretation. I am sorry if my mechanical input goes against your artistic interpretation.

    Charts, smartz! The only thing to consider is reality in the present. If the Dems get their hats handed to them in November, as they should, after two years of screwing up the economy and using blather and mindlessness as their tools, the Repubs must show they are, truly, dedicated to establishing energy independence for the nation by implementing their promise of Drilling Here, Drilling Now, and Paying Less. Then, oil prices will plunge below $70, as low as $50(?), and the chartists will have cornered the market on toilet paper.

    If there is any intelligence in the electorate, so shall it be. If not, there is no hope for this nation. But never fear, the chartists will show us the way to oblivion.

    paultaut, if the information is not useful to you, then don't bother to read it... simple as that.

    and steve ward, the pound chart is uncorrelated to the oil charts. was just pointing out another technical breakdown that occurred. the 3 charts were just glances at the technical side of things... just so happens that the first 2 charts both had to do with oil in some capacity.     Reply

    To paultaut: British Pound has been historically since 1974 a "petro currency". That maybe why they used it.however,the Pound is less and less a "petro currency" due to a declining North sea production base.

    So your point is well taken,the article does not explain the use or reasoning behind the Pound's inclusion here.

    A better currency is the Canadian Dollar with a CadJpy ratio. The Canadian Loonie vs. the Japanese Yen. That would have been far more appropiate here.     Reply

    PS I can't help but notice the absense of any trendline on the oil chart. Nor do I understand the relevance of using the Brit. Pound instead of the Euro. Reply

    Will Crude Oil Break $100/Barrel? [view article]
    There is a difference between demand and ability to pay, or between demand at one price and demand at another. The entire world is affected by high oil prices, developing countries more than the US. China has a huge trade surplus with us, but do they want to send it all to the middle east for oil? Most countries don't have the foreign reserves China and a few others do. They have lower incomes, especially disposable incomes.

    Oil consumption in developing countries will drop more than in the US.     Reply
