Brazil Olympic Investment Fever?
160 days ago
Brazil’s Rio De Janeiro Awarded 2016 Olympics. Time to buy Brazil?
Stop, take a breath, and remember what your systematic approach to entering and exiting trades is. How you manage risk. How you decide on position size. Traders who are disciplined will enter the Brazil trade based upon their trading criteria, not a news event. With that out of the way, lets explore ways to play Brazil.
With today’s big announcement of the summer olympic games going to South America for the first time, the Brazil trade ticked higher on the news. Whether it was the Brazil Bovespa Stock Index, the Brazil ETF, or the Brazilian Real Currency, investors were quick to trade the news. Some perspective is needed though. These games are seven years away. A short term pop is common on big news. The real question is how to play the Brazil Olympics?…….

Natural Gas ETF
175 days ago
When will the Natural Gas downturn end?
While many of the commodities have enjoyed a rally over the last few months, Natural Gas recently put in yet another lower low on the daily chart. Since the Tradesurfer Indicator first signaled a short entry just south of $75 on the Natural Gas ETN symbol:GAZ, we’ve seen the downtrend that begun in July 2008 continue. Traders using the Natural Gas ETF symbol:UNG have witnessed a similar picture.

How Index Weighting might effect ETFS
This was part of CNBC’s 101 ETF segment today. Short video that explains some of the differences in how the Dow Jones, S&P Index, and Nasdaq 100 are weighted and therefore may differ in their moves up or down for the day.
What does this for traders?

Currency ETF Potential Short:British Pound Us Dollar Poised to Move Lower?
247 days ago
GBP/USD Forex Pair
Taking a look at a daily chart of the currency etf which tracks the British Pound/US Dollar pair (Symbol:FXB) we can see that after a nice recent run up, the pair seems to have hit some upper resistance around the 1.65 level. We are also keeping an eye on the up trend line to see if price might produce a bearish violation and thus point to a potential short entry. While the Tradesurfer Indicator is currently showing a reading of 2, the slope and direction of the averages suggest a reading of 0 might not be too far off.
Inverse Short ETF:Potential Entry For Short ProsharesDow30
247 days ago
Short ETFS
Today we noticed a bullish signal based upon the Tradesurfer Indicator on Symbol:DOG which looks to track the Inverse performance of the Dow Jones on a daily basis. Essentially, it should go up when the Dow moves lower thus providing traders a way to play the downside via an ETF without having to actually sell short. This also allows those using IRA accounts to hedge positions since these accounts do not allow margin and thus dis-allow short selling. Generally a Tradesurfer Indicator reading of 5 is bullish and…………

Simplifying the 3x ETF, Double Leveraged ETF, and Inverse ETF
250 days ago
What are leveraged ETFs?
This question has been raised quite a bit recently especially with last weeks anouncement of a second company ProShares joining Direxion in offering 3x daily leveraged ETFs. While Short ETFs,Double or 2x ETFs have been around for a bit longer, these vehicles can be a bit confusing as traders struggle to understand how these products exactly track an underlying index on a longer term basis and why there seems to be the perception that there are widespread tracking errors. Lets try to simply once and for all the nuances of the growing world of leveraged and inverse etfs.
Having names such as the Ultra Dow,Double Short Crude Oil, or 3X S&P ETF, these exchange traded funds look to….

3X Leveraged ETFs: New Proshares 3X Long and Short S&P 500 Index
259 days ago
3X Leveraged ETF’s
While the leveraged Exchange Traded Funds have seen their popularity grow, the introduction of a new 3X ETF from Proshares seems to have continued the trend. Generally leveraged ETFs take a single leverage instrument which is tracking an underlying index or in some cases a single sector, commodity, or currency and then double or recently triple the returns.
The Proshares 3X ETFs will track the S&P 500 Index and offer a way for traders to play the long and short side.
Long ETF Symbol: UPRO = 3X Daily S&P 500 Index
Short ETF Symbol: SPXU = 3X Inverse Daily S&P Index
3X ETF Considerations
In theory, say the S&P Index is up on a given day and the single etf is up $1, the….

Gold ETF Symbol: GLD Testing Support Again?
268 days ago
Potential Short Entry Update
Previously we explored a longer term weekly chart view of Gold Prices via the etf symbol: GLD which trades like a stock but mirrors the price of gold.
We also pointed out that Gold could be poised to breakout higher or break down but were waiting…..
