UCS Afternoon update

Good afternoon everyone. Como sea todos. No this is not a Spanish blog, its the AllThingsETF blog, where you get great advice, news and investment ideas on ETFs that have the potential to make you money. I'll be checking around town to see what's cooking in the stock market this week. So far its pretty quiet out there. Stepped out earlier today to run some personal errands and it was like an exercise in wasting gas. Arrgh! I got nothing done.

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 .

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. Now, I am not advocating that now is the time to buy into these two funds. I still think a wait and...
