Monday ramblings

0400
volume in BAC is MUCH lower today

Took profits in FAZ daytrade today at 1.35% profit

0137
out of FAAS hedge 9691 breakeven,,back in FAZ 1345 (FAS was 5 cent profit but just call it breakeven)

1021
I chose FAZ and FAS as trading instruments today partly because they are liquid, trading in high volume. this is essential in daytrading or scalps in order to avoid slippage. Below are stats for recent volume in some etfs... the last column shows DOLLARS not shares,,, that is, what etfs are getting most volume dollarwise (adjusts for fact that 100k shares at $5 is actually less than 99k sharea at $10)

columns are not lined up, but they are labeled. ignore first column.
