Do Stock Screeners Work? Three Inexpensive, Reliable Energy Plays

244491 -- Bonjour, Monsieur....In regards to your last point, I tend to stick to safer methods, call it conservatism, if you will. I do use some Double exposure ETFs for things like Gold and Oil Prices, and have had some decent success (these are ones where you get $2 for every dollar that oil falls, if you choose to be a bear. You also have double the exposure if you are wrong).

As for Gold, I think that the sell-off was warranted, but has also been overdone. This tends to happen when large funds take out their money from a sector....just look at what is happening in the Fertilizer area now. Nothing has changed dramatically on Potash's business, but their stock has had a major correction.

Cheers...Larry
