Watch List - Scans for 2/2/2015

Stocks to watch for Monday Feb 2nd 2015

With the bounce in Oil prices Friday, really blew up my scans in the Energy market. If it continues, the Energy stocks will be great trades.

GENE - I expect this stock to continue lower in the long run. It may have a bounce and surge higher if this stock still has gas to squeeze shorts. But with a large spike always has a nice fade which could be good to short into if you can find shares.

REIT - Real Estate Investment Trust's

In my search and readings about finance and financial freedom over the years, there is almost always a section where it says you should own property for passive rental income as a part of your portfolio.

This means having enough money to purchase investment property, maintenance, insurance, taxes and always trying to keep that house/property leased. This maybe a headache people just don't want to deal with, although the headache could very well be rewarding in the long run.

First Buy-In to Vanguards ETF VYM

Based on my portfolio building I outlined Here, I bought into VYM at $67.13 / share on 1-14-2015.

I think I got in at a good starting price, and to be honest I hope it goes down further so I can pick up more shares.





















As you can see since I bought in it has increased in value, although great on my entry I still would like to build more of a position before it really gets to high.

Oil is Dropping - The Energy ETF That Might Be a Great Buy


The price of OIL Has dropped significantly in the past year and has yet to see a bottom, currently hovering around $48/barrel. Some think it will go as low as $30/barrel but time will tell. With OPEC not letting up on production its only a mater of time when they decide to reduce production and prices begin to rise.

Building Positions in ETF's 2015

Each ETF listed is eligible for commission free at TD Ameritrade. To learn more about commission free ETF investing check this link HERE.
