Tommaso and I don't want to sound like advertisements for BEARX, but we're quite happy with it since it is turning a profit shorting stocks even with the market indexes going up. So if we have one of those screaming up days like yesterday it's a good time to buy some for your IRA. It's very volatile so if you're a good market timer you can probably trade it safely. Another long to keep an eye on is State Street (i think the ticker is STT) they manage my pension plan and also have a number of mutual funds that are top performers, and the stock does better than the mutual funds. So if interest rates stay down and you see this one go on sale you might put some in the IRA. The brokers will do badly if interest rates go up, so watch them. The feds intend to turn Social Security into old age starvation insurance. I would much prefer to have the money in hand than continue to pay into the system, but I don't have that luxury :-(
