The quarterly TradeKing client survey was chock-full of interesting info this time around. We’ve talked about its findings several times in the office and got curious as to what the wider TK community had to say about our respondents’ predictions.

You can read the full results here, but here’s the skinny in brief:

Respondents say “go long” on energy (44%), healthcare / biotech (41%) and finance (40%) in 3Q…

…or if you prefer going short, respondents liked energy and commodities (15% each), as well as finance, transportation, and gold / precious metals.

We also asked folks which trading and investing strategies they’ve been using successfully lately. Both options and equity traders reported having profited from “buying more stock” or “buying and selling sector-specific ETFs or mutual funds” – as evidenced by all that action in leveraged ETFs we’re seeing lately.

We plan on opening up more of the quarterly survey results to public debate next October – so even if you don’t get hit with the emailed survey invite, we can capture your reaction. Stay tuned!
