ETF Update: Reposition and Rebalance

Well, its been a moment since my last post. I've been bogged down doing taxes; however the workload has eased up a bit since April 15th, which has given me some time to start scouring the markets for good deals.
Although the markets and the US economy is not out of danger, I believe that there will be many opportunities out there to make money in the markets. But before you decide to jump back in, I suggest that you take a serious look at your positions and tweak your portfolio to handle the rough riding ahead.

If you are afraid to look at your investments in your 403(b) , 401K, or IRA because they have performed poorly over the last two years, then it may be time to look at what and why you are invested in certain positions. We are offering a fantastic financial planning service for the next six months that can help you reevaluate and re-balance investments that have not performed well and reposition your investments for growth in your retirement account. Don't leave your nest egg exposed. You can weather the storm nicely if you are positioned correctly. Secure and protect your dreams with financial guidance that puts you where you need to be now.
In addition, I will be publishing a series of investment help articles on our main website. Feel free to check the site periodically for advice, tips and 'edumacation' on building an investment portfolio that can better weather the business cycles and make you money.

Natural Gas Unnatural Rise

I am reading lots of buzz all over the Internet on the rising prices in oil and natural gas assets and I am like here we go again. Yes, oil and gas stock are good investments but we are not running out of oil nor natural gas anytime soon. However, many investors are snapping up oil and gas ETFs like delicious hot pancakes. For example, the recent surge in investor demand for the US Natural Gas Fund , whose net assets has swelled 10 fold as investors snap up the shares, has almost caused the fund to temporarily shut down twice due to lack of shares to sell. There is no reason to load up on oil and natural gas stocks or ETF gas funds yet. Read the recent short term energy report from the Energy Information Administration - Official Energy Statistics from the US Government . The US Gov't is projecting lower demand and lower prices- a possible supply glut . Just in case you still believe that oil and gas stocks are the way to go, here are three natural gas ETFs that you may find inter...

The Borg economy

At any given moment during market hours, I am filled with feelings of dread about the US economic system, like its right on the precipice of disaster, and sometimes I feel like its like the fictional Borgs of Star-Trek- Exhibiting a "rapid adaptability to any situation or threat, with encounters characterized by matter of fact imperative 'resistance is futile'." Expecting a strong market rally today. WSJ Online before the bell gives a good synopsis of what to expect today. Commodities and oil will be up today after an overnight jump in oil and commodities prices overseas. Still convinced that the drivers behind the volatile commodities jumps are mostly related to huge institutional buying and selling- aka trading, and nothing to do with the cost of producing and selling the commodities. Still looking for a good entry point in our favorite fund the ProShares Technology Fund today. Will keep you posted on any new developments. 06/10/09 09:43 AM
