This is a brutal market.<BR/><BR/>Next up for me is looking for high dividend stocks that will survive this downturn.<BR/><BR/>There are some trusts out there that are paying double digit divodends. <BR/><BR/>The problem is its too early to jump into these because I think the continued correction in the market will take their share prices lower which wipes out any gains.<BR/><BR/>I have my eyes on a couple though. I'll let you guys know when I am more confident that they are safe.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450070920047311928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-43539138548647781722008-10-25T08:14:00.000-07:002008-10-25T08:14:00.000-07:00You need a lot of good ideas to make any money in ...You need a lot of good ideas to make any money in this shark pool called stock market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-34724503573510955062008-10-25T00:53:00.000-07:002008-10-25T00:53:00.000-07:00anonNice one.Thanks for sharing.

I like this ETF because physical gold is in high demand and the price of gold is not always reflecting the supply.<BR/><BR/>I would grab some Jan 18 calls if you want to speculate. This is risky but the reward is very high. I bought some Jan. 18's at $3.10. Its up 5% today so its probably a little more expensive.<BR/><BR/>If you just want to buy an ETF on the open market without options try (GLD). <BR/><BR/>GLJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450070920047311928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-60291234303896812362008-10-24T16:18:00.000-07:002008-10-24T16:18:00.000-07:00Out of curiosity, which gold ETF are you putting m...Out of curiosity, which gold ETF are you putting money in?
