Correlation Trade +XLE/-XRT

Long XLE / Short XRT is a correlation trade I hope to put on right near here.  It is mostly a play against the XRT.  I have yet to decide how I want to structure the trade.  Stock, Options or Both.  Dollar for dollar should yield some nice gains.  That's my theory anyway.

While there are non guarantees in the market, I do like this trade and see it as a relatively safe pair trade.  I will try and get some charts up in the morning.

PS.  Merrill had a correlation trade go bad, which resulted in $7B in loss.  Because of this I plan on having a stop loss somewhere near $3.5B.
