SAFE HAVENS: BONDS, DOLLAR AND GOLD
The Fast Money gang is keeping a close eye on the safe havens with both the dollar and gold higher for the week.
Treasuries, however, may be a different story.
At least that’s what some investors may conlude after examining the latest data released by PIMCO. The world's biggest bond fund, Pimco's $137 billion Total Return Fund, cut its market value weighting in government-related debt to 54% at the end of July from 63% at the end of June.
What should you make of it?
I wouldn’t make too much of it, says strategic investor Dennis Gartman. PIMCO is so large they need to go elsewhere. I think that’s all they’re doing.

GM IPO COULD BE AVAILABLE TO RETAIL INVESTORS
According to Reuters, GM is considering making 20-30% of its IPO available to retail investors.
As you may know, GM is expected to IPO as soon as next week.
What’s the trade?
Any way you can get exposure to this company, I say do it, counsels Tim Seymour.

RIM CAPS TECH SLAUGHTER ON TORCH DISAPPOINTMENT
As if HP and Cisco hadn't done enough to wreck the tech trade, RIM ended the week by launching its new Torch smartphone to very little fanfare and tepid reviews.
What’s the trade?
If you believe in the market then RIM may be attractive on the pullback, says Guy Adami.
If you want to play the space, I’d look at storage names such as EMC , counsels Joe Terranova.
I’d keep an eye on Intel, says Tim Seymour. If it trades down to $18.25 I’d load the boat.
Going into the holiday season, SanDisk should win, adds Jon Najarian. Their chips are in gadgets that people buy as gifts.
