@ Joachim: Let's come up with Exit Strategies

[Jamie Isetts]

Hey Joachim,

We've been losing a lot today. I've been trying to tease out why. Most
of it is just because it's been a bearish day so far ( + bad news from
the solar energy sector) and our whole strategy is bullish. Anyway, if
you have any ideas for exit strategies let me know. I'm definitely NOT
advocating we get out of any of these, but I wanted to understand
what's going on with them.

Here's a summary of what I've rationalized for our losses so far
today:

11:07 am Tues Feb 14
-Huge losses in IJR. Probably a bearish market for small caps based on
uncertainty in market (Greece)

- Losses in ICLN and SOXX: Solar Energy in Germany and US continues to
suck this week, but long term outlook still good. Restructuring in the
market will weed out firms

-EEMS- also suffering from Greece/ low performance of small caps?

-IYT & IJR: IVV dropping today. High correlation & beta, makes sense
that we've lost on these 2.

Been keeping track of First Solar today, it keeps getting butchered,
perhaps because of the news from that article. Also, some negative
reports came out about solar demand in Germany I think. Not sure about
the other ones, but will look into it, as well as develop exit
strategies. I'm drowning in homework at the moment though, so I won't
be able to do much until later in the week.
