http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ Keeping a grip on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) en Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:48:14 +0000 http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/where-are-you-in-the-markets-right-now#post-26 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:12:47 +0000 paulo.rego 26@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>I am in and out whenever my strategy tells me to. And I am really stick to it! So my strategy: buy when EMA5 crosses over EMA40 with a little of personal trend analysis. Sell when profit reacjes 30% or stoploss at 8%. I am mosly using Leveraged ETF since they are faster. Last profits: BX4, BXX, SKF, FXP, FAZ and TZA. I am investing from Europe, but keeping and eye only on ETF traded on NYSE/ARCA and Euronext Paris. Now I am all in cash since that is what my stategy teels me to. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/where-are-you-in-the-markets-right-now#post-19 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:19:00 +0000 Denny 19@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Mostly in cash but recently as things were looking up I added to my Vanguard Health Care Fund &#38; VG Energy Fund. Of course, that may have been premature. Big problem with those moves (1% redemption fee if held less than 1 year). In this market it is best to stay away from the few funds which have those restrictions. Also have VG Tips fund, VG Precious Metals &#38; Mining fund, VG High-yield Corporate fund. Mostly cash w/ VG Prime MM fund (all self-directed IRA) Also a taxable acct. w/VG High-yield Tax-Exempt fund. Within the IRA I have a brokerage acct. &#38; own DBA etf (big loser) Could have lost only 8% if I had known better, but am still holding. Most interestingly, about 10 months ago I moved some money from my Vanguard IRA to Wells Fargo (WellsTrade IRA Brokerage Acct.) With 100 free trades per year per account I have been buying/selling etfs with them. At present time all cash at WellsTrade. Was stopped out recently with FXY, XBI, &#38; even GLD. I really believe a person could do fine by utilizing ETF Trends simple, simple strategies. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/where-are-you-in-the-markets-right-now#post-14 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 10:37:42 +0000 NutSkin 14@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Sadly, I have very little devoted to cash at the moment. Hindsight is always 20-20, so I'm going to go through my portfolio over the weekend and write up a Mea Culpa on how I could/should have done it differently...aka should have sold out of MUTUAL FUNDS at a profit instead of a LOSS!<br /> I'm grateful to have found this site on ETFs. Near-term objective: I plan on learning a lot so that I can actively manage my portfolios in accordance w/ trends and momentum. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/where-are-you-in-the-markets-right-now#post-8 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:01:18 +0000 Tom 8@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Are you in cash and waiting it out on the sidelines? If so, how long have you been there?</p> <p>If you're in the markets, where are you right now? </p>
