CAPS Rating:
**

Exchange traded fund

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

For all of those gains that you have in your portfolios with energy stocks, this is an utterly delicious way to keep them. Holding a nice piece of this when (not if) oil starts declining will buffer the reduction in the value of your energy plays. Once oil starts bottoming out, sell this and reinv...More

Shorting gas and petroleum products is not a good idea right now for several reasons: (1) Consumption during the summer always drives demand (and thus prices) up; (2) As long as Helicopter Ben continues cutting interest rates, the price of a barrel of oil will continue rising (all else considered th...More

TeleChart Scan - Peter Worden Notes: DUG 07/15/2008 11:50 AM  - The price of oil is down big today, probably in something of a delayed reaction to President Bush's announcement yesterday. This has DUG in rally mode and looking very good on both the daily and hourly charts. I could see the positive development taking place yesterday, hence my original buy recommendation at 1:30 PM ET and my reiteration at 3:00 PM.

I like the short-term base which has formed across the May, June and July price lows. The selling climax, as evidenced by both TSV and MoneyStream came into the May lows. The indicators showed a relatively sold-out condition at the final low early this month followed by a surge of technical buying into the rally that ensued. The 100-day moving average (blue line) is an obvious level of overhead resistance right here, but is likely to be surpassed. -PW

DUG is always a good hedge for those who are heavily invested in hydrocarbons.
