Even as Tesla continues to rake in the cash, it remains absent from the portfolios of auto ETFs�and broader consumer discretionary funds. One huge positive for investors who have so far used�alternative energy�funds to gain exposure to the growing firm, there are a number of funds that revolve around the NASDAQ 100. Many ETFs will have to pick up Tesla when they rebalance to continue tracking their index, allowing for ETF exposure that was missing for Tesla.
Alternative energy funds such as the NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund� have already seen huge growth from not only the great year green energy has enjoyed, but the added bonus of heavy Tesla weightings to their portfolios. QCLN, which specifically tracks the technology firms working on clean energy components, has returned nearly 60% since the beginning of the year and 36% in just the last 13 weeks�.

Shares of SNMX are now starting to spike sharply higher above those support levels and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in SNMX as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $8.04 or above some more near-term support at $7.66 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 425,867 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SNMX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $12 to its 52-week high at $12.74.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dimitra DeFotis]
The market seems to be showing fatigue particularly with positive onshore oil service data points that may no�longer seem incremental. Investors have become especially focused on potential issues and macro concerns. We believe this phase�of enhanced risk perceptions will pass and still recommend owning selective stocks based on attractive valuations and healthy�fundamentals. Of the 16 oilfield services companies having reported their quarters to date, the share price changes have at times�been difficult to tie to specific results. �… Five of the 12 companies who have beaten earnings expectations have seen their share prices drop on the day, including Basic Energy Services (BAS) (-9.0%), Baker Hughes (BHI) (-2.5%), National Oilwell Varco (NOV) (-1.5%), Oceaneering (OII) (-4.2%), and Schlumberger (SLB) (-2.0%). Other stocks beating expectations have traded higher as expected, including Cameron International (CAM) (+4.1%), FMC Technologies (FTI) (+3.1%), Mitcham Industries (MIND) (+3.8%), Nabors Industries (NBR) (+1.2%), Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) (+1.8%), RPC (RES) (+8.4%), and Weatherford International (WFT) (+2.3%). Companies which have missed have universally seen their share prices decline, including Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) (-4.3%), Gulfmark Offshore (GLF) (-0.1%), and Hercules Offshore (HERO) (-6.9%). Halliburton (HAL) was in line and flat on the day.
