Proshares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF (TBT:NYSE)


The Proshares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF (TBT:NYSE) has proven immensely popular, with average daily volume above 5 million shares. TBT is designed to rise when long bond prices fall. Thus, to go long TBT is to cast a predictive vote for rising interest rates, rising inflation expectations, and deteriorating credit conditions fueling a loss of faith in Uncle Sam.

The thing is, the logic behind this trade may have become too obvious. When that happens, the odds of a nasty correction increase significantly.

Green Stocks

Check out ZBB....large scale enrgy storage company. They make Zinc Bromide batteries and are currently attempting to move from an R&D company to commercialization. Had a pilot trial with PG&E and it went well. Risky, but its in an area (smart grid) in the spotlight.

Also, look at NGLPF, a bb geothermal stock, with their 1st plant coming on-line in October. Should continue run-up till the plant comes online.

APWR is another one. This is my favorite "green" stock of the ones I own. They are Chinese and do distributed generation (DG) power plants (including liquified natural gas, biomass and wind farms so far), manufacture wind turbines and contruct wind farms, and they just bought a thin-film solar manifacturer. Big picture...it looks like their goal is to build DG plants using their own turbines (just got their 1st contract to do exactly that) and their own solar panels, among the other carbon-based forms.
