UCS Update: much ballyhoo about nothing

Nothing, nada! The markets are down today. So much for the Apple bounce. Average volume on the ProShares Technology Fund with 63,701 traded so far. Recently, a huge trade came over at around 10:40 am- the offer price about 38,500 shares on an offer of $31.25. I am also looking at my Level II screen- the bid and offer spreads are averaging around .05 cent to .19 cents. Nothing poppin off yet. Might be a good time to start setting up some trading strategies for the week on the fund.

New ETF Posting

By UCS Investment Co. The new ETF posting on the AT-ETF Exchange is the PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio (Fund) . The Symbol is KBWP . This is a relatively new fund which opened in December of last year. The Fund is up about 1% so far this year. We are not expecting a huge run up in price in the short-term on this fund but we are looking forward to steady gains in the share price of the fund as the economy improves.

Goodbye Mike

However, reality has set in this morning and have left me almost speechless. Goodbye Michael! You will always be missed! 6/26/2009 9:41 AM

ETF Update: Short and leveraged ETFs

The markets did well yesterday, up 379 points. Impressive breadth across the board. The Wall Street Journal has a great data center for Etfs . The ETF Gainers, Decliners and Most Actives data column is pretty good, its updated throughout the day and you do not need a subscription to get the information. Yesterday's big market day had ETF funds lit up with huge market moves especially in leveraged ETFs. ProShares funds had a huge day yesterday on the leveraged side. ProShares , if you are unfamiliar with this fund group, is one of the largest short and leveraged ETF family of funds in the world. Of course, many of their short funds were down but the leveraged funds (finally) did better. The Proshares Ultra Financials ( UYG ), 52 week % change - 92.61% and ProShares Ultra S&P 500 ( SSO ), 52 week % change -73.21% finally got a break and is up 4.23% and 2.03% respectively today. Now, I am not advocating that now is the time to buy into these two funds. I still think a wait and...
