<h3>TNA</h3> This turned out to be a nice day trade Entry: <b>$16.66</b> Exit: <b>$18.42</b> Profit: <b>10.56%</B>
<h3>Stoploss - 24.Feb.2009</h3> SKF - 181.79 - 14.90% RFN - 60.34 - (-9.97%) I left a lot of money on the table with SKF, and also lost money on RFN which could have been a profitable trade. I still haven't lost faith in my method, as the key is to be able to do this with minimum amount of work. I am hoping I can trade with 5 to 10 min of work a day. Check the history <a href="http://investics.wordpress.com/etf-performance/">here</a>. <h3> NO ETF POSITION - 25.Feb</h3> I might try to catch some individual stocks today.
<h3>Feb-26 ETF List</h3> ETF Last-Price StopLoss ------------------------- SIJ 83.81 77.88 EWV 104.19 98.98 SJH 100.19 93.53 TZA 73.3 66.66 EFU 132.2 124.40
<h3>Approach </h3> The idea is to try and find ETFs with the maximum <b>Momentum</b> and <b>Relative Strength</b>. This approach doesn't seem to work effectively with stocks as the volatility could bring down a healthy stock in a short time. Where as (as all of you know) when a ETF moves it means a particular industry/commodity/currency etc is showing strength. I personally feel more comfortable with ETFs. This allows me the luxury to spend only a few minutes a day on trading. I would rather be on the Golf Course!

<h3> $1000 Question</h3> I was asked last night, if I were given $1000 a month. How would I invest it? I would love to know what would you do?? Would love to hear some ideas!
Hi, I have a question about SKF This etf is said to yield 200% inverse of the DOW index. But when looking at the prices today, I found currently Done is down 1.60% ,but SKF was up 8.54%, this is more than 500% of the inverse of the DOW index . Is there something wrong? Are we expected to see SKF up only 200% of the DOW's loss, which is about 3.20%, not his 8.54 % ?
