Exchanged Traded Funds


Exchanged Traded Funds (ETF's) give you the flexibility and diversification you need to actively manage your money. Because of their unique flexibility and low cost of ownership, we prefer ETF's over any other kind of indexed based investment product. If you had used our EquiTrend Growth Strategy, which incorporates ETF's, you would have substantially grown your investment capital during the millennium bear market instead of decreasing it. We encourage you to read on and learn how ETF's and EquiTrend can help you grow your investment capital in both up or down markets.

ETF's represent shares of ownership in either fund, unit investment trusts, or depository receipts that hold portfolios of common stocks that closely track the performance and dividend yield of specific Indices. Currently, ETF's track broad market sectors or international-based Indices. ETF's give investors the opportunity to buy or sell an entire portfolio of stocks in a single security as easily as buying or selling one share of stock. To learn more about ETF's, please visit our Tools Section and click on our favorite website links that further explain these flexible investment products.



Diversification! If you are an active trader that has traded stocks, you have probably seen one or more of your stocks drop 25% or more in one day. One of the major benefits of trading ETF's is that they are diversified. ETF's represent or track a basket of stocks or securities. Currently, there are ETF's that track major Indices, broad sectors, groups, foreign countries, and even bond portfolios. Because they represent an aggregated basket of securities, your investment is diversified and not tied to the bad earnings of an individual stock or the misgivings of a crooked CEO.


Shorting made easier. ETF's are not subject to the short sell uptick rule that is required when shorting individual securities. This makes selling an ETF short much easier and quicker than with a traditional stock.

Lower trading cost. Trying to emulate an ETF by purchasing a basket of stocks can cost you a lot in commissions. ETF's offer the investor the ability to diversify across an entire sector while only incurring one commission.

Flexibility. Since ETF's are exchange-traded, they can be traded any time of the trading day. You can also trade these unique investment products in after hours trading.

More markets. With ETF's, you will now have access to markets that were previously unavailable to equities traders, such as Government T-bonds and many International markets. With new ETF's being created every month, the realm of trading opportunities keeps growing.



EquiTrend works the best with securities that are correlated to the major Indices. Below is a list of the ETF's that benchmark to these Indices. We prioritized the Indices according to total performance using the EquiTrend money management system.

ETF's offer you many different trading options. If you are interested in improving your performance and want to customize your own trading strategy using EquiTrend, you should consider incorporating technology sector funds. Below is a list of the technology sector funds that we feel do the best job of tracking their respective sectors. To learn more about these ETF's visit the Ishares website.




Trading any of the above ETF sectors is up to you. Our objective is to give you trading ideas and strategies for utilizing EquiTrend. If you are not comfortable developing your own trading strategies, then we strongly suggest that you follow our EquiTrend Growth Strategy. If you decide to trade these technology sectors, please diversify and purchase more than one sector at a time.

A simple strategy is to trade the top two sectors that have the highest relative strength. In other words, when EquiTrend fires a buy signal, go long the top two sectors. And when EquiTrend fires a sell signal, you go short the bottom two sectors.

To reduce the volatility of your portfolio and smooth out your equity curve, you might consider investing half of your capital in the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), and split the other half between two or more technology sector funds. Remember, your objective is to maximize your growth with the least amount of volatility.
