I'm about to get out of QTWW while I'm still ahead and I'm split on what I should buy next. F or GE? I'm a small time trader and really don't know what I'm looking at most of the time.

I only like ETFs for day trades.

FAZ was nice and really predictable at high 18s for a long time.

I would hold off on GE for now. They are heavily leveraged in "green energy" such as wind turbine, solar, etc.. If Cap and Trade goes through and/or the Current talks in Copenhagen lock the US into eco-responsibility GE will likely rocket.

My feeling is that Cap and Trade will remain stuck in the mud as long as the economy is crap (nobody wants their power bills to double right now) and Copenhagen will be Jokenhagen (instead of Hopenhagen).

So what makes BAC stand out to buy other than their new CEO?

My initial thought was just on the fact that it was way oversold, and expected a better pop that it had.

After looking a little harder and at the P&F charts I sold out of it for a nice gain of about six dollars and will wait for a buying opportunity in the $11-$10 range

I haven't really been paying much attention to my portfolio recently. But I went in today and was shocked to see GOOG back over 600 again!

My finance holdings have all taken about a 20% haircut since last I checked. But my tech holdings are all on fire and more than making up the losses in other areas.
