Sell IXC?? I need your help team.

[Chris Kuntarich]

Hey everyone,

Our exit strategy has been for commodities to close positions after
they have reached a 5% gain. IXC hit that mark today, but I'm not
sure that our energy position is worth closing right now. For the most
part energy has been strong with the sever cold in Europe and the
threat of supply problems in Iran. Banks are keeping the markets very
liquid right now so one way or another volatility will remain pretty
low. Any opinions (hopefully backed up) on whether we should stick to
our exit strategy or change it.

Ideas on more profitable uses of $127k will also count for reasons to
exit.

Thanks in advance for your opinions everyone,

Chris

I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.  

My thinking is that we should peak at the Economic Calendar and see if we see anything in there that could disrupt IXC.  For example if we see something in two weeks that may disrupt its current pace then maybe we act in 1 week and 6 days but maybe not right now.  

That's my personal opinion.  Unless we see higher growth rates in another ETF, and we don't see a future disruption in IXC's growth it doesn't seem logical to back out.

Let the debate begin.

Phil

Agreed. However, idk how much this is honestly trending with economic
calendar data because petroleum saw a build in inventory and natural
gas saw a smaller than expected decrease in inventory. Build in
petroleum is slowing, but it is still building none the less all while
IXC has posted gains in the last two days.

I think the data we should really be looking for is corporate news and
keeping our eyes pealed for "unknown unknowns."
