[T1214]Trading Exchange Traded Funds
by Christopher Smith, Bba, Jd, Chr

ETF Profit Driver incorporates state of the art educational software to present a professional quality course. Bill Poulos has developed ETF Profit Driver to take advantage of the significant benefits offered the investor by Exchange Traded Funds. While an ETF does offer a level of diversification as compared to an individual stock, It is still very possible to lose money trading any ETF product, so it is important to adopt a system that tells you when to get into the position and, just as importantly, when to get out of the position.

Exchange Traded Funds offer investors and traders many advantages over both individual stocks as well as traditional mutual funds. Because Exchange Traded Funds are "baskets" of stocks, they provide the investor with immediate diversification that is not afforded by stock in a single company. With that diversification come a reduction in risk.

Mutual funds also provide diversification through their ownership of multiple stocks. They are not exchange traded, however. This means that your buy and sell orders will not be filled until sometime after the markets have closed. Exchange Traded Funds are traded on exchanges, so you are able to open and close positions during market hours allowing you to make effective use of stop and limit orders.

ETF Profit Driver incorporates four specific methods for selecting Exchange Traded Funds and proper time to purchase them. These methods do require some study, but once mastered you can realistically expect to apply them in about 20 minutes after the market's close. That means you will not need to spend hours staring at a computer screen.

Each of the four trading methods is designed to trade the market in concert with a developing or existing upward trend. Short selling is not part of this method, although you are able to "get short" the market through the use of negatively correlated Exchange Traded Funds. A negatively correlated ETF is one that moves opposite the market, so when the market is in a downward trend one of these "short" Exchange Traded Funds will rise in value.

Therefore, the focus of ETF Profit Driver is to identify Exchange Traded Funds that are in the process of making a sustained upward move or that are breaking out to the upside. The systems revealed in the course identify relative points for safe entry and simulatneously identify a point of exit. In sum, you will tend to enter the market when the odds of profitabilty are at their highest and exit the market when the trend is no longer reliable.

Once you understand the nature of market trends, you will have an appreciation for each of the four trading methods incorporated into ETF Profit Driver. The first method attempts to identify and jump aboard a newly developing trend when it first breaks out. Other methods look for safe points in the market to buy ETF while it is in the trend and when it has corrected following a correction.

Money management is a critical aspect for all investors and traders, although most in the retail sector do not incorporate it into their own strategies. With ETF Profit Driver, Bill Poulos has incorporated very effective methods for not only buying Exchange Traded Funds but for also selling the positions when necessary to avoid losses and to take profits at appropriate times. As such, it is a complete Exchange Traded Funds trading course.


ETFs have been popularized because a lot of people have finally seen the benefits of trading ETFs in their accounts. In this article - I'm going to take you through some of the reasons why I trade ETFs in my zero risk trading account.
Here's the reasons:
1. You're Not Investing In Any SINGLE Stock.
When you're not investing in any single stock and you're investing in an Exchange Traded Funds - you're Index Investing. This means that you're literally buying a small piece in every stock for that index. It becomes a basket investment on different stocks. For example if I was to invest in the QQQQ which is the ETF for the Nasdaq, I am buying a piece of AAPL as well as MSFT. This means that if suddenly a rumor rises that Steve Jobs actually uses a PC, AAPL stock will go down in value - however, QQQQ won't because the drop will be absorbed and balanced out with the movements of the other stocks within the Exchange Traded Fund.
This gives you INSTANT diversification within an index.
2. You Can Invest Anywhere In The World - By Just Buying ONE Stock.
Did you know that there is an ETF for all the individual BRIC countries. That's right - you don't have to do in-depth, mundane research on which stock to buy in those countries or which industries are performing well - If you like taking risks and hear a "story" that India is going to be doing very well - just buy the India Exchange Traded Fund. This spreads your investment as well as giving you the profit potential if India does increase.
This means you don't need to put a whole new hat on each time with every market you go into - you can trade, within the USA markets and still buy other countries.
3. Decreased Volatility.
If you're a long term investor like me, you'll appreciate Decreased Volatility. And with an ETF the volatility is much less than any stock - why? Because one stock price movement is always weighed out with another.
On the upside - ok, maybe you want more volatility - however when markets go down, an Exchange Traded Fund can really save your neck. Why? Because it gives you time to think.
Say you're in QQQQ and AAPL has just dropped by $20, and the whole market looks like it's on a downturn. That QQQQ share price will take much longer to move because other stocks within the market will most probably be going up and this will buy you time to make the correct decision.
OVERALL
I love ETFs I've been trading them and teaching them for ages. And with the way I trade the market in a Zero Risk position - ETFs just make my investing much more fun.
