Hot Option Plays: Buck Breaks

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 02:46 PM PDT

Cusick’s Corner

One sector that I am monitoring to measure the country’s economic health is Transports, IYT (i.e. Trucking/Airlines etc). This sector has been stuck, range-bound 91-95, and if we break either level then we could get a better picture of the state of economic growth and this could also act as a potential catalyst. The Buck, UUP, continues to break and the Euro, FXE, continues to hold. If the Euro … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
