Hey CLK,

:lol: Good question. Lots of charts are goin' to the moon, Alice.


One thing I'm watching for the future is the spread between US gov't debt securities and junk bonds. The spread is small right now, and I think eventually it will widen, bigtime. A rising interest rate environment and a lessening of the current tidal wave of liquidity would help this. There is one fund I know of -- AFBIX Access Flex Bear High Yield -- "Inverse Exposure to the High Yield Market" -- where you're betting against junk bonds.

Timing is obviously very important, and I'm watching the charts.

Best,

Doug

clk - see RNAI and PANL post above....RNAI has risk that any biotech has, with commensurate reward consideration...PANL downside risk and ideal entry is clearly visible on the PnF chart...PANL has a history of trading between the red and blue trendlines on the PnF chart, so patience may be the best thing, tho' let's see how long this most current test of the 14.22 level holds up....earnings was May 10th, so I am not sure it will have a downside driver, and more likely upside drivers....it is a pure-play technology company as mss and I have pointed out at TT for about 3 years now.
