UCS Morning Update

06/02/09 08:52:26 AM

UCS trading-ahead update: I am sitting here thinking that the markets have moved up substantially since March, 2009. Will they go higher? I want to believe that the markets will go higher, but that voice in the back of my head is still saying it's too soon; the fundamentals in many sectors are just not there yet; inflation is still lurking; trillions of dollars that have gone up in smoke just does not reappear overnight. Not too long ago, I was considering the short etf funds as viable investment alternatives, like the ProShares Ultra Short Financials or the ProShares Ultra Short Real Estate, but so far their results have not been stellar (literally) in these Short funds.

I respect the markets and I just believe that when you are going short you've got to have a stomach of a 'billy goat', cause its going to be rough climbing to get to the nice grass. I may consider taking a position in the ProShares Technology Fund today. It all depends on the overall market's momentum and the technical indicators off the fund. However, after reading today's pre-opening update on WSJ Online, I may have to wait. We'll see.

Maybe, I am looking at this in the wrong way. A few points here, a few points there- nothing major; The only investors that are possibly making money are the short sellers. 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...
