Yes, I was not interested in it really. I think the best and only stocks to buy long term or maybe even short term, are the only stocks with earnings and a decent valuation. Oil,Gas,Utilities. Some people think they have peaked, but I don't think so. I think I may buy some on a dip, though they are pretty slow movers. I love to trade the techs, though I have to admit, my day trading skills on high beta stocks is sometimes lacking, and the stop losses are not very fun, once you get a lot of them in a row and commision eats you up. I was going to go with Interactive Brokers, but I believe the margin requirement is now $25,000, and I don't quite have that much.
