From ~$80 to $240 in less than a year then down to $24 in the following 7 months, this ETF is all over the map...However; since the dollar's declining, Washington's printing money and spending our grandkid's future income taxes like a drunken sailor, the Banks can hide the truth about bad Real Estate loan exposure for only so long (not to mention the next round of impending foreclosures in Jan), I believe this puppy has only one way to go; I'm expecting it to double before March.

After the recent runup in financial stocks, I'm shorting them now with a buy on the ETF financial short SKF. A review of third quater earning reports reveal that banks made most of their gains from stock and bond trading, not financing loans, etc. It's likely that trading profits will fall off the next few quarters.

Obama is the worst President ever. He will bankrupt our country and send us into a massive depression. His policies are worse than FDRs. Nationalized Healthcare is a fool's dream.

Financials are all doing very well. With earnings all coming out now it seems like all the major banks have had a major turnaround. For the short term this stock will get crushed as financials keep moving on up
Recs
SKF has a too low valuation compared to the weakness of bank stocks, like BCS, DB, UBS, C, or CS, or insurance stocks like HIG, ING or PRU. As this position uses a double leverage, it could be closed within one week.
