Via leveraged ETF's with multi-month horizon?
If anyone has anymore let us know. The only thing I have now is UPS. The rest is in an IRA. Mammon you like the dividended stocks huh? They are good long term as long as the board of directors chose to pay dividends. That can change. Thanks again for the replies gentlemen. Oh... and u too Jeff Jones.
One more to look at is SLW, which has gotten pretty damn cheap lately after the recent drop in silver prices (and the market in general). Loads of cash reserves, zero debt, and locked into silver at a very cheap price due to their agreements with an assortment of mining companies. If silver spikes up again (as it eventually will), this company will make money hand-over-fist. And even if it doesn't, they're already trading at near their 52-week low. Lots of upside here and probably not a lot of downside, at least not long-term. And btw, they just started offering a nice dividend not too long ago. Good stock; not sure why i didn't think of it originally.
That's what I had figured.No way, levered ETFs are a disaster. Didn't mean to suggest using those (never even heard of the ETFs mentioned), just generally bearish. I'm short a small basket of equities, short euro, short yen, long dollar.
Boring pick, but you could do a lot worse than AAPL. Incidentally, they announce quarterly earnings on Jan 17th (i think), and should do extremely well. Strong long-term growth potential too, even as big as they already are. The new Siri software has loads of potential.
I know this stock by the way, and own it. They have a total of 9 employees I believe. They generate revenue by way of royalty agreements which is a very favorable business modelOne more to look at is SLW, which has gotten pretty damn cheap lately after the recent drop in silver prices (and the market in general).

CATERPILLAR-
Record profits quarter after quarter, and forward looking next year is lights regarding demand. Precious metals prices is driving the demand for mining equipment.

GOOG should continue to make money hand over fist as well, especially with all the campaign money ready to be spent on advertising during the upcoming election year. They also figure to catch on even stronger with investors when they finally do split the stock (making shares far more affordable to the individual investor). That might happen sometime in the near future, perhaps this year, and it can only help.
I'm partial to MGM myself, due to mainly the imminent online poker thing. Really think it'll be a huge boon to their bottom line, and will allow them to start eating away at the mountain of debt they currently have. Their stock is quite cheap too, at about $10 per share. Lots of upside there.
The wildcard of course is the European financial crisis, which can wreak havok on the market as a whole. Much more worried about that than i am the companies themselves.

Another one worth looking into is a newly-listed company that i read about just last week. It's called InvenSense (INVN). Very interesting stuff, definitely worth keeping an eye on if nothing else.
