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.

    What to Buy- Foreign vs Domestic funds?

    Calm before the storm. At least that's what I've been reading. It seems that there is still not much buying. Much of the buying seems to be just shifting funds from one account to the next. It's called "churning" in broker turns. So, I wanted to see if anyone was buying, you know, new money. I clicked on over the Investment Company Institute website to see if they could shed some light on this matter. Based on their recent reports, "Estimated inflows to long-term mutual funds were $ 12.48 billion for the week ended Wednesday, June 10, 2009 ", versus $ 13.646 billion for the week of June 3. At least it wasn't negative. There is buying. As a matter of fact, buying has almost doubled compared to inflow numbers reported in May. I also noticed that Equity Foreign Funds had a larger percentage increase than other categories while Taxable Bond Funds had a noticeable percentage decrease in inflows as compared to the previous periods. Interesting. Are in...

    The Old Reality is Still the New Reality

    The Old Reality is Still the New Reality  Dodd Frank Illustration   I sat at my desk last week wondering what went wrong. Was I experiencing some type of trading depression?
