Market vector for the solar-sector ... strong down-trend. Expect more downside as Trump is stomping on the whole sector.
GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX.
With Trump ... solar-sector would NOT be good to invest. Avoid.
So ... can we buy inverse-ETF for the sector since we expecting more downside? Good question ...
Well .. guess I have sent some messages here.
With DOW going to 30,000 level ... will we see 2000 level for KLCI?
Think ... what should we do?
