Actually, seems DUMB to buy FAS.
Seems better to short FAZ.

Hi,
I've tried to load FAZ and FAS and apply it to a symlist but I can't get it to show on my results page or see a chart?
SKF and TWM work fine...something different about FAZ? Too new ? or I'm doing something wrong?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

You might want to research Pivot Points. I've been trading FAZ using pivot points and I've made almost 5k in two days. I'm still a newbie trader but I've found that FAZ follows the pivots extremely well. Here's an example, 3-6-09...FAZ pivot was $95.95. My rule is to wait for green candle completely above pivot point or resistance level. When I say completely above that includes the wick. So on Friday I entered FAZ at about $98 with 100 shares. According to the pivot point calculations for support and resistance I knew that FAZ would not hit R until $107.72. With this in mind, I added shares until I had 400 total for a $100 average. From that point I just monitored the market and since it was tanking I felt confident that R1 would be hit at 107.72. I sold all 400 at about $109. The next stop for FAZ was supposed to be $115.95. I watched for a strong break off the R1 (which had now become support) and bought back in at 110. I rode that up to to about 112 and sold. The only reason I didn't hold was because i was doing all this trading at work. Anyway, I hope this information is helpful. I'm no expert though. Everything I know about trading up to this point has come from InvestorsUnderground, TRO posts, 13th's posts, GreenOnTheScreen, Technical Analysis by Brian Shannon and Day Trading for Dummies (that's where I was introduced to pivot points). Here's a good breakdown of how pivots are calculated. http://www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/04/041404.asp

JohnP & Moby: SF indicates that stocks without full data often will not show on filter outputs. To show, the time period of the filter must not be for a time period greater than that for which data is available for the specific symbol.
