XLF - Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund

The investment seeks to replicate, net of expenses, the Financial Select Sector index. The fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 95%, of its assets in the securities comprising the index. The index includes companies from the following industries: diversified financial services; insurance; commercial banks; capital markets; real estate investment trusts; consumer finance; thrifts & mortgage finance; and real estate management & development. The fund bears a higher level of risk than more broadly diversified funds as it is subject to both sector risk and non-diversification risk. It is non-diversified.

Yeah I'm still short XLF, the pain is there, people are just choosing to ignore it.

well i do believe that the banks still have some major writedowns to come, so i am short also. 9.00 Puts on WM. If we get more bad news which i believe we will, the market will test the 11,000 support level. I am still bearish on this market, this is just a minor bull run. More blood to come!

Took a spot on both sides for tomorrow, the 500% gain vs 50% loss today is looking too good with whatever comes tomorrow

Always play the next number it's going to for most percentage gainer!
