Msparks, since the SPYders are a proxy for the S&P 500, I've often thought of trading them instead of individual stocks. The only thing keeping me from it is the wash sale rule; if you take a loss in a SPY trade, you have to wait 30 days to buy again, to be able to count the tax loss. (At least I think that's how it works....?)
On my charts, the S&P 500 looks to be long-term neutral, with a bias to the upside short-term. Might get a pop in the next day or two, lasting for a couple weeks.....????
Pablo, you might just have caught the bottom on BG....???
Weird, huh? Cramer called BG last night, so I put my buy in at (get this) $53.30. I often miss my buy points on Cramer calls because the stocks shoot up so fast on rapid volume (duh). The stock was at $53.20, IRC. I see the real time quote and say "oh shoot". Then I check my orders - good trading Fidelity!
I missed INTX, though.

I didn't lose my a$$ today.
Got my huge dividend from DSX.
Got my puny dividend from MS.
Some of my stocks actually went up.

BG in a death spiral.
Everything else - UP!!

Market rebounded like a coiled spring. Gotta love it.
Yep, nice rebound today. Oils are killing me, but I can't bring myself to sell, since they're all so oversold already. The charts look like they'll go up, but the fundamentals are sounding bad.....
I'll like the oils again, very soon.
If history is any guide, some event will drive energy up, and sooner rather than later.
Summer is an event.
changing topics right along - any thoughts on:
BEP
BEO

S&P covered call funds? My depleted brain cell can't comprehend these exotic strategies...
BEP is throwing off an 11% dividend though.....

Yeah pretty interesting. Both are selling at a nice discount to NAV. They are CE ETF's. That dividend is misleading, but here's the ETFConnect.com blurb:

What do you think of THQ?
Hey Pablo & everyone,
Ha ! I didn't know this site had an investing thread.....
I do a lot of investing. Some recent ones...
UNH (thanks, Cramer!)
Fidelity: Low Price Stock, Growth Company, Fifty, Diversified Int'l, International Real Estate, Int'l Small Cap Opportunities
Oakmark Equity & Income, Clipper
I'm looking to re-balence into some individual Stocks like:
Qualcom, HXL, NUVO, GWR, FNSR, ATI, Caterpillar, TXRH (Texas Roadhouse - Yummy), etc
Any thoughts if Boston Scientific/Guidant will go up or down AFTER the Buyout...?????

I've been avoiding the Guidant thing, too much cash/credit flying around and it does not look promising for share holders.
I own many of the same funds you do, interestingly enough. I only had two sluggish funds last year - feel like dumping them (neither has a significant % of my assets) , but they have shown signs of life:
Fidelity Dividend Growth: This one may be about done.
Fid. Value Strategies: Lagged in 2005, but then threw a HUGE capital gain, so I got a bunch more shares, plus it looks like it might come alive.

I haven't talked to a weenie at Fidelity for years. I take that back, I actually had to call them last month to set up my "Brokerageline" within my 401K (sweet) - something they don't do online (strange) they had to mail me a package. All went well - I already get the "GOLD" commission package but this set up is really good for new folks (they start with silver, rather than Bronze). This will the first time I can do broker stuff within my 401K, (all my normal trades are within the IRA.) I'll liquidate my matching company stock (GenCorp) and buy stocks and funds within the 401K.
