Notes:
- Positions are as of the open on Monday, July 20.
- Unless otherwise noted, returns on trades are based on my own positions, not the underlying market prices. Returns from closed trades include trading fees. My own return may differ from the return of the underlying index, security or commodity because of variations in how the security I use tracks the market. In some cases, my return is based on a leveraged fund and may also include currency exchange into Canadian dollars.

Alex, excellent play in just one week! what ticker do you use to trade NIKKEI, U.S. FINANCIAL and S&P 500? Thanks.

Thanks! EWJ for Nikkei, UYG for U.S. financials, HSU (trading in Toronto) for SPX. Not recommendations. That's just what I used for these particular trades this time. Next time I might choose something else.

DVTechTalk.com has a good updated list of ETFs. See his "Education" webpages.

Alex
