ETF technology fund update:ROM

Closing notes: The ProShares Ultra Technology Fund closed at $28.50 per share with total daily volume of 604,728 shares traded. The Dow Jones US Technology Index closed at 432.98 up 3.32%.
On a positive note, one of the companies that make up a large percentage of the holdings of the ProShares Ultra Technology Fund- (Apple) had good news coverage today on CNBC.com, which in my opinion pushed the fund's NAV a bit higher.
It will be interesting to see how the fund will trade tomorrow. Remember this is a (2X) leverage fund. It returns twice the daily results of the index; so if you invested $1000 in the fund and the index increased 10% today, you would see a return of $200 today and vice-versa if the index went down 10% you would have a negative return on your investment by $200.

If you are good at short selling then this is the market for you. Lets take a look at a good short fund.

ETFs -More training and education

By Rick Walter ETF Training & presentation, education and more... There is so much out there. I went to the iShares website and found a series of educational tools, webinars, web casts , tutorials and presentations that may help a beginner and even experienced investors. I was impressed with the tutorials, but I still think that the financial buzzwords in the presentations may be a bit too complex for beginners. However, the site overall presentation and content is very good! What about taxes? 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...
