Today I covered my shorts in the drilling & oilfield services sector. You can make a bundle playing this sector down and now up. It's the most oversold group at the moment and you should specially take a look at FGII which is extremely volatile and a great trade. Shorted it at 35 when the sector took a beating and I am now long. I expect this puppy to see 35 again soon. Not the right place to post this here, but worthwhile to study. Michael
