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.

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...
