Toon_bookWhen it comes to you and your exchange-traded funds (ETFs), what indexes do you like? As you look around for an index to follow, are you more of a traditionalist who seeks out those indexes weighted by market cap? Or are you more of a renegade? If you’re walking on the wild side, what kinds of weighting methods do you like? And no matter what kind of weighting method you prefer, tell us how it’s working out for you and what led you to it. Surely, you know the drill by now…leave a comment or shoot us an e-mail!

    To Everyone who reads here-

    Yes indeed I was a broker for many years....Just to show you how much I believe in etfs....You know how when I was a broker....in terms of getting new accounts(brokers typically)....people typically pitch a whole pool of new potential clients, right?....Worse case, if Im done for day taking care of clients...I prefer taking the time with my own investments in etfs I truly believe in...For example...if I own and love a particular etf....there are dips, right?....nothing goes stright up in a line.....as long as my pic didnt dip beneath 50 day moving avg....and it came down a bit on low volume, I may just buy more...to consistantly avg down my price point which in the end wins for investor...I am not saying to be reckless...Pick your avenues wise and always watch 50 day moving avg and volumes....In turn you will sleep well at night and be happy with future returns.

    Wise etf investing,

    Adam S. Weinstein
