ETF technology fund update: ROM

05/27/09 09:27:22 PM

ProShares Ultra Technology Fund update: When the markets get tough and rough ETFs could be a good place to be. They are diversified, benchmarked to a specific index, and offer all the benefits of a mutual fund, but with the ability to trade like a stock.

Yesterday, the Ultra Technology Fund had good volume that carried over today based on Apple being upgraded, with Qualcomm and Microsoft also in the news. I searched the web today for technology news on the majors and I found nada; nothing of substance except the usual- Microsoft still interested in a buying Yahoo's search assets. Otherwise, pretty quiet on the technology news front, with the added current economic jitters and it was like letting the air out of a balloon. Lol.-:) We will pick up following the fund tomorrow.

By trade I am a tax professional; I believe that all investments should be analyzed first from a tax position, before an investment decision is made. ETFs are labeled as very tax efficient vehicles. Here is a good article, in my opinion, that explains the tax efficiency issue very well for ETFs. Check our external link section for links to websites that I believe provide top notch information on ETFs, including sponsors, distributors and advisers. I will be adding to the list daily. If th...
