Hi AIM1979, If an ETF contains 30 positions do you look at all of the components if the ETF uses weighted values or just the higher percentage components? For an equally weighted do you look at all of the components?

Given there are now over 1900 ETF/ETNs how do you winnow it down to a manageable number?

Alas, it is not OUNZ I was reading about. It was one that had taken a deep dive over the last bit and was down around $5 if I recall correctly.

For ONUZ, given its narrow range, what would you use for buy/sell safe?

I've been playing with using 5% for buy/sell safe and 5% of shares to get the prices for the orders, but what I've been toying with is making the actual number of shares to sell at twice the 5%. Using the smaller % helps create a narrower range and doubling the number of shares overcomes the minimum total sell so one does not sell trivial amounts.

On the buy side I'm playing with only buying 150% of the minimum number so that a significant drop will still leave me some cash for additional buys should that become available.

The narrow range positions seems to really limit any significant action using traditional numbers.

Other ideas?

Best,

Allen
