Getting it Right

The markets have fallen back into that tight narrow trading range. Small up days and small down days but it seems any day with a small gain has big positive psychological effects on the psyche of the average investor .

I believe that it will stay like this for awhile. I think the run may be over for a minute. Well, if you have not made any money during the Dow's last run then too bad. Just kidding. For those of you who have missed out on the Dow's recent run, I've listed four previous posts on sector ETFs funds that have performed exceptionally well within the last six months. As the summer months grind on, expect more postings identifying ETFs in specific sectors that have the potential to make you money within the remaining six months of the year.

  • Four Energy ETFs- 4 ETF Fund in the Energy Nebulae

  • Three Gas ETFs- Natural Gas Unnatural Rise

  • Five Value ETFs- Quality not Quantity- Large Cap Value ETFs

  • Three Technology ETFs- The Power of Technology


  • It's interesting to note that my favorite technology stock- ProShares Ultra Technology ETF is listed on Seeking Alpha as one of the best performing leveraged ETF Funds for the year.
