ETF Master

[stock2windaily]

ETF's represent a sector. They are made up of holdings in that sector.

http://finance.yahoo.com/etf/education

With an ETF you are not gambling on one particular company, you are gambling on one particular sector of our economy.

If you feel that real estate is oversold, and you feel bullish on the sector, you would buy the Real Estate ETF 2X Long and your money will double the performance in that entire sector.

If you feel that real estate is still going to decrease with the foreclosure boom that is on the rise, the increase in unemployment, and the ineffectiveness and the Governments modification plan, you would buy the Real Estate ETF 2x Short and your money will go up if that sector goes down.

The ETFs in the IBOX are mostly 2X leverage. FAS and FAZ are 3x leverage. When you are correct - you gain more then a 2x ETF, When you are incorrect - you lose more.

Hope that helps.

It amazes me that they admitted they were going to dilute the stock to raise capital - and the prices are still going up. That makes ZERO sense.

Only good thing - the more investors believe it - the less future taxes increases we will have to live with - LOL.

Its a win win!

OK Stock, My head is spinning from all of these ETF's. LOL! I must be honest and say that I have only played the FAZ/FAS game so far. So here goes the dumb questions: Do all of these ETF'S run like FAZ and FAS? I know it depends on what is going on in the markets, but can you give me a head start on which ones seem to move and/or stay the same? Could you give me the lowdown on these suckers. I appreciate your insightfulness and generosity.....(Kiss Kiss) Lol! HELP MAKE ME AN ETF GENIUS!!!!!

[FLORIDAGRL]

I have felt bearish about the real estate market for a while now. I am an appraiser, so I see what is really going on everyday. But when the govt., puts out all of these false PR's, people actually believe it, even though they know what is happening on their street! Amazing to me. Lol!

[stock2windaily]

Thats a GREAT Plan!

I feal very BEARISH about next week - my feelings are usually 100% incorrect - LOL

I should of loaded on FAS

[FLORIDAGRL]

I chickened out and never got back in yesterday or today. Looking for the lowest entry and watch it when the "real" news comes out about the real estate market.

[stock2windaily]

I am holding for the HUGE selloff next week - should be a gapper Monday morning - quarterly reporting week next week - should scare the hell out of these bulls in a bear market!

Glad you made a profit.

I actually timed a sell almost perfect today stockie...Sold my FAZ at 6$ HOD was 6.06 (patting myself on back) just wish my entries would've averaged less than 5.80 LOL. But had flipped it earlier in the week for some $$$ also. Going to avoid it for a little while I think. Seems like the market still wants to go up or sideways. Hard to make money in FAZ/FAS unless significant moves in either direction or you have a TON of money to play it with.

[FiremanDave]

Yup.

[stock2windaily]

We may do well in the near future - if we buy the double short healthcare ETF - of course wait until the Government mentions they are taking over - LOL

[stock2windaily]

Me neither - yet the damn things are going up - LOL!

[FiremanDave]

I can't find one...

[stock2windaily]

I just need people to give me reasons of why this isn't a long-term problem. I just need some convincing that the financials are all fixed and they can dilute and still go up in price.

[FiremanDave]

I moved my WHOLE 401k into 3 month short term fixed...I didn't change anything all the way down to 6500 but when it hit 8500 and I made alot back, I said your not fooling me again. Hopefully we will correct over the next 3months and I can ride it up again heh heh.

[stock2windaily]

LOL - I can't do that - wish I could! Everyone around me is so bullish - but I can't help but ask - what exactly has changed?

Only benefit I see - Those who lost a fortune - have made back about 25%!

Greed will keep them in the market - and they will be sipping beers with me asking me - why didn't I get out - I was given a second chance.

[FiremanDave]

AGREE AGREE AGREE!!! I just don't get that we are not tanking right now...If we don't tank by tommorrow at 4pm I may just have to switch camps and join the oblivious bulls...

[stock2windaily]

Long Term holding for me!

1.) Housing foreclosures in standstill - until inventories are eaten through - doesn't mean the problem is gone.

2.) Unemployment continues to rise - even though the media spins it and makes it sound like its less then we thought - we are still going down as long as jobs are being lost.

3.) Unemployment will be huge in the future - Chrysler in bankruptcy - GM to follow - that involves restaurants, parts manufactures, etc.......

4.) Credit card debt has become a crisis - $2.98 trillion. Defaults are climbing.

5.) System is being held up - by temporary fixes - lets call them bandaids for a very large wound. Stop the bleeding, yes - long-term - probably not!

6.) People who can't live on unemployment, don't file for unemployment - they deliver pizzas temporarily and don't reflect the numbers.

7.) Banks have risen up substantially - profit taking is bound to happen - which could trigger a large selloff.

8.) Stress Test is forcing banks to raise capital - IE -- stock dilution.

If these reasons are bogus - or if anyone has an argument against them - I welcome your posts!

Someone please make me feel more positive - LOL!

[FiremanDave]

Same here...Almost boring watching FAZ today LOL!

[FLORIDAGRL]

Great board Stock! Now I will be able to figure out how to play more than one of these at a time. BMarked!

[stock2windaily]

Wish they had sub penny ETF's - LOL!

[FiremanDave]
