Has anyone looked into the divergence between SMH and QQQQ?

It looks like unless SMH confirms the QQQQ, there is room for a downside move in tech.

I am looking at shorts on OIH and XLF. Short XLF especially if today’s FOMC minutes reflect a “one and done” position vs. more rate cuts to come.

I’ve known people to use them because of the ability to trade everything under the sun there. Commodities, futures, foreign exchanges, etc. I filled out the paperwork a couple of times, but have never followed through.

Ever look at Interactive Brokers? I’ve been thinking about changing considering their commissions are so low (0.005 / share), but haven’t heard about anyone using them so not sure how good they are. Any thoughts on them?

I use Ameritrade for my stocks and I trade most of my money at Rydex utilizing the double beta mutual funds.
