Bill Poulos ETF Profit Driver – Exchange Traded Funds
Based on a study conducted a few years back, about 10% of all long-term mutual-fund assets were held in index funds. Those funds offer comparatively low fees track indexes familiar to most investors. The drawback of index fund investing has been holding those positions during market downturns.
In the past several years Exchange Traded Funds have started opening up significant new investment strategies. While Exchange Traded Fund behave much like traditional index mutual funds, they have key differences.
Exchange Traded Funds are actively traded on electronic exchanges, allowing you to open and close positions during market hours. They also offer highly liquid option chains, further expanding their use as an investment and trading vehicle. In comparison, mutual funds are not exchange traded and your order to open or close will only be filled at the market close.
As a result of this expansion of Exchange Traded Funds, small investors are gaining access to a growing array of different exchange-traded index products. Each year, numerous new Exchange Traded Funds are launched, tracking everything from clean-energy stocks to the nanotechnology industry.
A key driver in the popularity of Exchange Traded Funds is the failure by many mutual-fund managers to beat the market for extended periods of time, even as they collect big management fees. Instead, many advisers have turned to a strategy of lower-cost index funds, and increasingly, Exchange Traded Funds.
Exchange Traded Funds rising attractiveness also stems from the mutual-fund trading scandals of recent years. Because mutual funds are priced only once a day, after the market closes, some insiders used strategies designed to profit at the expense of the little guy. Exchange Traded Funds are priced like stocks, however. This means tat they trade throughout the day and are not vulnerable to these scams.
Each method taught in the ETF Profit Driver course identifies a safe point in the market to open a new Exchange Traded Fund position. As such, you enter when market risk is at a relative low. Bill Poulos’ money management rules then force an exit from the position, preserving capital and locking in profits, if and when the trend begins to fail.
Who Should Buy ETF Profit Driver?
ETF Profit Driver is a very well designed trading course and is well suited for the more conservative minded traders and investors among us. By avoiding individual stocks, you are less likely to experience large gaps resulting from company specific news.
The course also focuses on only taking long positions. Because you are not selling any fund short, you do not require the use of margin.
Therefore, since margin is not required, these trading methods can be used in IRA accounts as well as 401k accounts that provide the ability to buy and sell stocks. You will simply need to ability to place buy, sell, limit and stop orders.
With the use of inverse ETF funds, those that move opposite the market, you will be able to “get short” the market even in the aforementioned retirement accounts. You will simply buy the inverse fund.
As an end-of-day trading system, your activity will be limited to the evenings or pre-market hours depending upon your preference. You should be able to allocate at least 20 minutes each market day.
It is unlikely that you will place trades each day. There will be days when there are no “buy” signals. Therefore, you need to discipline and patience to wait for a proper trade setup.
Finally, you will need to be able to either maintain a suitable piece of trading software as discussed above or, alternatively, subscribe to Profits Run’s service. That, combined with your funded brokerage(s) accounts is everything that is required.
This is an excellent trading course, especially for those not comfortable trading individual stocks, futures or foreign currencies. If you are able to make the minimal time commitment each evening and apply the rules sets in a professional and disciplined manner, I can think of no reason to hold back from making this purchase.
