ETF Trends - Keeping a Grip on Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
http://www.etftrends.com/images/2008/04/08/2207916834.jpeg (http://etftrends.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/08/2207916834.jpeg) Last week's stock surge has caused a pullback for some of the leveraged and inverse exchange traded funds (ETFs), the same funds that were earning traders so much money.
David Penn for Trading Markets explains (http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/stocks/commentary/powerratings/-76370.cfm) that one of the biggest benefits of a leveraged ETF is that traders do not have to use a margin and still get a 2-for-1 bang for their buck.
Another benefit of a leveraged ETF is that traders can bet against a market without having to sell stocks or ETFs short. Inverse ETF trading is much more simple than taking a bearish position on a sector.
ProShares and Rydex are the primary providers of an extensive line of short and leveraged ETFs.
Take a look at these inverse ETFs that are appearing on investors' radar:
ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 Fund (SDS (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=sds))
ProShares UltraShort QQQ Fund (QID (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=qid))
ProShares UltraCap Mid-Cap 400 Fund (MZZ (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/s=mzz))For bullish investors, among the many leveraged funds are:
Rydex Inverse 2x S&P 500 (RSW (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=Rsw))
ProShares Ultra QQQ (SSO (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=sso))
Rydex Inverse 2x Russell 2000 (RRZ (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=rrz))Read the disclosure (http://www.etftrends.com/2005/08/rydex_disclaime.html), as Tom Lydon is a board member of Rydex Funds.
