Stocks and sectors to track - methods to utilze...

These are interesting and challenging markets - volatile and confusing. There are also many instruments and tools at your disposal. ETFs are ways to make sector bets - there are 2x and 3x volatility versions. Of course, other methods are using coverered calls for income and spreads for growth.
