    Just make sure you guys buy the nat gas producers and not the UNG ETF if you want exposure to nat gas.

    Here are some lists for those wanting to research stocks with exposure to Natural Gas. There is some overlap between the two lists.

    Looks like a cliff dive towards 0. I'd go with market leaders for any kind of longer term "investing". I am not very good at those as I have much more of an affinity towards "trading", but if you really want to be in solar I'd look at FSLR on pullbacks, or even smaller cap ones like TSL or YGE. Don't be a hero and try to bottom fish losers, the odds are stacked against you.

    What are the criterion that goes into a leg that you use the Fibonacci retracements on?

    How severe will this correction be and should I start shorting?

    What factors do you use as the turning points in the Elliot Wave theory?

    1. Fibonacci Targets <i>(I might have linked previously to that web site earlier in this thread.)</i>

    2. There are varying thoughts and opinions with some looking for a mild Rally in the near term (provided nothing too drastic occurs). Some are looking for a Drop into the near term into the end of March. Calling every Market turn is quite difficult.

    3. I spend very little time with E Wave, so will pass on answering.

    Don't rush this project.

    I can understand why Sprint got a hit because they were rumored for a long time to merger talks with T-mobile.. Personally I think it would of made sense for the two to merge.

    Now with Verizon I'm not sure why? I have a feeling Verizon will be in rumor talks with buying Sprint now. lol Cell phone monopoly.... Oh yeah!!!

    VZ will be the likely buyers of the stuff T will have to sell to get the buyout approved. It's expected VZ will get very good deals on the assets sold off from T.

    Stocks or something else?

    Is there a synopsis of your knowledge - approach - background earlier in this thread?

    Why do you want to start daytrading?

    Day trading is pretty tricky stuff and you really need to start with 25k if you hope to be successful. I recommend doing more short term/trend trading.

    Covering some today on the news. For the rest I have a few extensions that measure to 27, with a best case scenario of 20 but would take longer(a few months) to play out.

    Nice play. After Obama's plan to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil by one-third by 2025, including support for natural gas vehicles, these stocks have popped today.

    WPRT +10.26%

    CLNE +5.96%

    FSYS +5.13%
