July’s Hottest ETFs
August 6th, 2010
Below are the 20 hottest ETFs at the close of July, based on the 6 month performance. These are not ’buy’ recommendations or aggregate portfolios for investment. My favorite way to use this list is as a) to get a sense for the intermediate trends and b) as potential short-term trading opportunities (long or short), although I tend not to use leveraged funds. This month’s list is heavy on Real Estate ETFs and individual country ETFs in emerging markets.If you are comfortable using your own technical analysis that is another option for using the list. Trend lines and support/resistance levels are some of the simplest and most powerful tools for analyzing price charts. An investor could also use proprietary trading signals combined with risk management techniques such as those I profiled in-depth here.
