ETF Newsletter in the Email

I’ve sent the first copy of my ETF newsletter (such as it is) out this Sunday. If you’d like to be added to the mailing list (free till the New Year), just leave a comment or email me.

Ultra Financials Proshares (UYG) is a big winner for the system… if you were long and sold out back in May, you saved yourself a lot of grief. If you were a real fancy pants and then shorted it, you’d be making out like a bandit. I urge subscribers not to look at any one ETF signal in isolation, but to consider the portfolio as a whole (there are big winners AND losers).

    Very nice.. I wonder if “bought” and “sold” is less confusing than “buy” and “sell” or move the price column next to the “buy/sell” column. “fuzzy” has done well fer sure. I found a nice triangle in RKH to watch already! Thanks Chairman.

    Hi CM,

    Thank you very much for your newsletter. It looks very good, excellent work, very impressed by the returns.

    On average your system is up about 39% for the year which is pretty darn good in today’s climate.

    I have a question regarding stop losses for these long term trend following type trades. At what levels do you recommend setting them?

    Also whats the significance of Net Assets? How does this value impact on our trade decisions?

    Lastly 3-Month Volume. Do you think it be useful to show the fact that volumn has increased/decreased by X% over the last 3 months to give an indication that activity has increased/decreased?

    Regards,
    Tim

    Hi again,

    re: Ultra Financials Proshares (UYG) is a big winner for the system…SHORT $29.98 MAY 2008

    Looking at the UYG chart, it started down trending back in SEP ‘07. Not sure when you started your “fuzzy” system, but would it have started giving signals from this year onwards only?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    I enjoy your blog very much. However, can you elaborate on the money management method you employ when managing a trade? For example: (1) % capital risk per trade, (2) Setting of initial stop, (3) Moving stop to b/e, (3) Banking some profits, (4) Letting profits run.

    Thanks, Ralph

  27. C. Maoxian said:
    November 10th, 2008 at 10:59 am

    @Tim: This isn’t a real portfolio (yet) and the numbers just represent what’s happened since the last signal, keeo that in mind.

    There are no stops, you just hold until you get a reversal signal which in some cases means you get your ass handed to you. So you need to be diversified, hold a bunch of tiny, non-correlated positions.

    The signals are generated all the way back to when UYG listed, I just haven’t looked at them all.

    I just included Net Assets to show people how large the various funds are so if they’re not comfortable with little ones they can avoid them. I included the volume just to show people how liquid these various ETFs are.

    @Ralph: I have no idea about the money management side yet, but I think it’s a good idea to spread your bets wide, there are no stops, no b/e, never take partial profits, and the system is all about letting your profits run.

  28. Dan said:

    Two things:

    There is a TON of overlap in this list. perhaps think about cutting some of them out?

    There is a TON of interest in investment programs, especially free ones.

    Hi again CM,

    Just to be clear on the exists, this system is based on long term trends. Exit signals come by way of reverse signals from the weekly newsletter.

    To use the GLD example in your 25-OCT-08 post:
    http://maoxian.com/archive/new-newsletter-soon-to-launch/

    …there are roughly 2-3 entry and 2-3 reverse (exit) signals for GLD a year, is this correct?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    @Dan: Yes, everyone is calling for a “core” portfolio to follow that will be more wieldy, and yes, I expect that the 4,000 people who are currently interested will convert to 400 paying subscribers. :)

    @Tim: Right, you exit when the trend reverses… whether or not you take the other side (go from short to long or long to short) is up to you. Ideally I think you should play both sides. I have to update that chart of gold, but yes, there have been several reversals this year.

    First of all thanks for sharing all this information with us. I have one suggestion, why don’t add stop losses based on simple money management rules and then just reenter the position if it trades through the stop loss level again? It will cost you a little in slippage and commission but you could avoid 25% losers. This will also give you a better picture on the overall portfolio risk.
    Thanks, Stefano

    Folks, read up on portfolio management. This is totally different from swing trading. The basic idea is to spread your risk evenly over a relatively large number of positions. How to size them? Use volatility. You’d have smaller positions for more volatile funds and larger positions for less volatile funds.

    Stop me if I’m lyin’, Chairman.

    What indicator did you use. Here are some videos on indicators I have found helpful. I was just wondering if it was one of them.

    @steve: I’m not sure how to size the positions but equally weighting everything to start would be simple enough. I’ll think about it and come up with something before the new year.
