The Power of Technology

Technology has been nice to investors. However, looking for a little pull-back in the markets sometimes this week or early next week of about 3-4%. But, I could be wrong. The anxiety meter is high this week. Here are three technology funds that are comparable in return, size, holdings, etc.

However, one fund stands out from among the rest with a whopping 3 month return of 61.18%. Since the ProShares fund returns 2X the index, you really get a nice return on your money. However, there are many risks to consider when investing in these types of funds at this stage in the game.

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.

Goodbye Mike

Before I get going today, lets take a moment to honor an American Idol, a Music Titan , and a Perfect Representation of the Gods of Music ; I would like to send my condolences and respect to the Jackson family for the sudden passing of Michael Jackson . I am profoundly saddened by his death. I was trying to ignore the whole event- news of his death . It seemed like some sort of bad dream at first. 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

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.
