This whole world has gone Turkey stupid (see TUR), OK is close to all time high because GDP went up 0.1%.

I do not recommend shorting anything until one of the Fed members tank the market next week, lol. Watch the event schedule next week. look at Mexico (EWW) as well. The whole world has gone pumptastic. Too much money floating...
Will 'oversold' EWU get more oversold? Now hearing headlines of potential move of British Pound to parity. High energy costs hurting consumers and business may hurt profits for companies. WIll EWU hold or continue down trend?

RSI-M and RSI-W are not showing particular signs of overbought or oversold

A near term bullish breakout in EWU would project this ETF up...
On a fairly regular basis, I look for things to add to my covered call portfolio. While on occasion I'll dabble in individual underlyings, my preference is to look to exchange traded funds that represent an asset class (e.g., XRT (retail), XLF (financials)) or market (e.g., EWZ (Brazil), EEM (emerging markets)) so that my hat's not always hanging on a single...
