Sure, here's one for the newbie: SKF 

This one guarantee to give you the ride of your life. 

AIG and Citigroup or ETF counters

FAS is better if you're bullish.  Already up 50% for last 30 days.  D

But, tread careful, IMO, financial sector may not have bottom yet..
eventho a lot of people call DJIA at 6500 was the absolute bottom.

The M2M rules aren't clear yet and the toxic assets re-purchased with private equity - not exactly sure
if the banks/mortgage companies are willing to sell them on the penny on dollar.

Good luck!

Well, you didn't buy some on Wednesday night?  The pullback was the opportunity man! 

Yesterday was best day for financial.  Every bank stocks were up.. Wells Fargo has the best run of them all
with over 30%.

It seems the bottoming process already began. Don't wait at the sidelines to wait for the
lowest to get in.. nobody knows when the bottom will in and it is always a rear-view mirror. 

I have to take some profits today, selling some of my positions in UCO, FCX and HAL. 

We shall play again next week..   

Exactly. Once you start trade in US market (specifically US options), you find boring to trade in KLSE anymore..too slow, no volume(for some warrants), low volatility.
Better move all capital to US and start trading there permanently
Earn US dollars better than Ringgit Malaysia. The good things is we no need to stay there to earn USD..lolx 

Goldman hits the home run after hours reporting. We may see things pop up by the next day for banks stocks.  Time to take my profits on FAS. 

Aikss..BAC (11), Citi up to 3.80 all bull market.
Regretted that i do bull call spread. Should long straight call only. Wrong strategy in this super bull run 
Miss alot of potential profits. 

Sorry, I do not know the banking rules in UK or Hong Kong.

But, if you know the banks that you wanted to do business, feel free to call or email them.
Today, with the Internet, it is relatively easy to talk to foreign banks/investments brokerage customer service rep and ask questions without being physically presence.

For example: I managed to open an investment account with E-Trade without stepping a foot in US soil. Just through email and skype (for cheap phone calls).

WRook:
Hope you have monitoring and be able to pull the trigger last night for your UYG.
It  was the pullback opportunity that I've mentioned the other day..your UYG was definitely a BUY opportunity
and towards the final hour of the trading day, the good news from Feds rallies the market,
it pops up to over 8% gain. 
Btw, I am excited for my FAS! 

syong:

the reason bac
poor dividend with highest value 60-70 usd
no doubt bac is a dividend counter but inview of current TARP bac need some time to digest what he had eaten..
please remember bac do not have permanent capital loss like citigroup or aig.
it have better potential than anyone.

march i am looking at bcs barclays, bought 1000share.. i think this is a good counter as well for 1/2 speculative and 1/2 investment purpose.

i bought bac at 3.7usd 1000share and another 1000share at 5usd., 500 share at 11.5usd
i am holding them thru thick and thin. i believe my effort will be paid off by the time i pass on to my son or daughter.

good luck with all the investment.

50 counter are just nice;
5 counter =reit
5counter=energy
10 counter = banking+finance + insurance
10 counter= consumer staples eg pep,ko,bkc,mcd,yum,kft,
10 counter=industrial product ge gd,lmt,ford,dd, dow
5counter=gaming industry lvs,mgm,dis
5counter= raw material bhp, riotinto, alcoa,

only new investor will own one to two counter, believe me i been like that before..trust me you will understand at some point of time.
not everyone can manage huge portfolio like 50 .. try 10 then 25 or 35 ..
this come with experience.

Hey Rook,

Looks like you're long. The only ones I like in your holdings are BAC and XLF.

But, how come they're like this:
BAC = financials
TBSI = financials
XLF = financial ETF
SBLK = shipping/transportation

Whoa!  I think you're way overweight in financials...

If you buy XLF, don't buy BAC or TBSI because they are already covered by XLF.
Same goes for LYG..(financials again).

Remember to diversify..
