I promised a quick, one-time review of E...Hi Robin. I promised a quick, one-time review of ETFs about which you asked. Since all three are real estate related, the commentary for each is similar. Here goes:<BR/><BR/>URE is trading in a range and looks to be compressing in a narrow triangle. That often protends an upcoming breakout, but doesn't tell us the direction. There appears to be resistance at the $6.45 level.<BR/><BR/>IYR is also compressing into a triangle. As is the case with URE, it has not yet broken out of the downtrend and until it does, I would consider it to be bearish. A break out and up would appear to have a first resistance in the 35 range.<BR/><BR/>SRS has had a huge drop since November and looks like it may be finding a little support around the October lows. It currently appears to be trading in a range between about 75 and 100.<BR/><BR/>Any play in any of these ETFs would involve significant risk as do all plays in the market. It is critically important for the trader or investor to completely understand the risk of any position they place. I emphasize the importance of risk awareness and risk management and aversion in my book, "Trade Your Way to Wealth." Before placing any trade or making an investment, the trader or investor should consult with a professional. By commenting on these ETFs as you requested, I am not making any recommendation whatsoever. Please be aware that this is not meant to be investment advice and is not investment advice. Please understand that I am not permitted to give personal investing advice. I promised to look at these ETFs on a one time basis and want to make it clear that while I was happy to do it this time, I will not be doing it in the future since it involves too many requests and demands on my time.<BR/>Bill KraftBill Kraft, MarketFN.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274803638438137352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-70101415292602616632008-12-16T09:29:00.000-07:002008-12-16T09:29:00.000-07:00Hi James.

I should note that there are a number of ways to market it such as through classes, DVDs, a book, etc. in addition to subscription services. In all cases, though, I'm glad you will seek appropriate legal advice before proceeding.<BR/>Bill KraftBill Kraft, MarketFN.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274803638438137352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-86694451976497487952008-12-15T14:51:00.000-07:002008-12-15T14:51:00.000-07:00Thank you Bill, It's merely an idea in the back of...Thank you Bill, It's merely an idea in the back of my mind at this point. But I have been asked by others to provide such a service, and its an interesting idea. I have at times in the past given some buying ideas for free to orther teachers, but the current work I am doing to develop a system is too extensive to give it away for free. I may just end up using it myself and keep my mouth shut. Especially since if enouoh people adopt a specific system, it either creates self-fulfilling predictions or ceases to work. But I do enjoy heping others achieve their goals, so the idea has appeal. But I will definately take your advice (whch is sound as usual) and make sure that all my legal ducks are in a row first. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-68895067587127000812008-12-15T07:19:00.000-07:002008-12-15T07:19:00.000-07:00Hi Robin.

I'll try to take a look then although I generally do not analyze stocks on the blog. Unfortunately, if I did, I am afraid I would be overwhelmed with requests so this would have to be a one time thing and definitely not to be considered a recommendation either way.<BR/>Bill KraftBill Kraft, MarketFN.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274803638438137352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-72393729973074856802008-12-15T07:16:00.000-07:002008-12-15T07:16:00.000-07:00James, thanks for writing.

I do not give personal investment advice only try to offer educational information with a multitude of important disclaimers. Your question deserves an answer from legal counsel representing you and your interests and while I suspect that isn't the answer you were hunting for, I sincerely recommend you consult with an attorney before embarking on your proposed venture to establish needs for license, appropriate disclaimers, etc. I wish you great success but caution you to lay the appropriate foundation before selling your service.<BR/>Bill KraftBill Kraft, MarketFN.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274803638438137352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-42101088416743303112008-12-15T07:15:00.000-07:002008-12-15T07:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for the kind comments on the newsletter Rob...Thanks for the kind comments on the newsletter Robin.

As I mentioned before, I am testing a system that is based on fundamental analysis to pick stocks which I then monitor for an entry point based on technical analysis. Based on backtesting, and paper trading over the course of this current year, it appears to be very reliable. I have several people who want me to provide them a similar service as you do with your paid subscription services so that they can buy and sell based on my system. But I have no idea what kind of license I would need to hold to provide such a service. Any advice you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated. If you wish, you can e-mail me directly at twokuntry@msn.com. <BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.<BR/><BR/>James NeatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-78110669615653591202008-12-13T16:31:00.000-07:002008-12-13T16:31:00.000-07:00Dear Bill:I could not agree with you more on this ...Dear Bill:<BR/><BR/>I could not agree with you more on this weeks newsletter.

Each one has to use the strategy that best suits their purpose and personality.<BR/><BR/>Besides, I think that these discussions will enrich our knowledge, as do our mistakes. We will not be afraid to small losses, (If you cut losses quickly) as these give us the best education and experience, because you learn from mistakes, both in investment and in all aspects of life.<BR/> <BR/>I personally think that this is the best time to be aggressive (as long as your timing is correct). The volatility of these days generates movements in prices in a "couple of days", which in normal times are produced in a "several months".<BR/><BR/>As you've taught us in "Trade your way to wealth," the best way to reduce risk is through the options. I never apply aggressive strategies using stocks. Too much risk. With the options we reduce the risk to the value of the premium we pay.<BR/><BR/>During the week I was lucky enough to capture the movement more wild, which can have a stock. This is Dryships, which had a rise in value of more than 100% over the week. This is a stock with high Beta, and with a huge debt, which carries a high risk. But as some say over there, even the dead cat bounce.<BR/> <BR/>Technical analysis and timing, are the greatest skills to develop. And breaking out on time, avoiding greed. I got out on Tuesday, when the momentum had not yet been exhausted. But win $ 15,000 with a risk of $ 3200 in a few days.<BR/><BR/>In the end, it seeks to avoid the fear and greed. Both extremes are dangerous.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Thanks for the freedom of thought, and your passion for the Trading.<BR/><BR/>Dario<BR/> <BR/>Attach the link screenshot from my Account Activity, to complement the information.<BR/><BR/>http://img395.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tradingoptions0409dic20lr5.jpgDariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202693260110783072noreply@blogger.com
