About The Book

Exchange Traded Profits: Cashing in on new ETF Trading Methods, covers the lessons that should have been learned from the recent bear markets and details analysis techniques that overcome these flawed theories.  Specifically:

• Diversification is overrated.  We highlight the flaw in having a diversified portfolio and demonstrate how portfolio concentration is a better option.
  
  
• Buying and holding the S&P 500 is not the best option.  By making just one or two trades a month, a portfolio can greatly outperform a buy-and-hold strategy.
  
  
• Sector investing is highly effective, but there are periods when all sectors go down.  In order to have a market independent portfolio, inverse funds must be utilized.

In this book David Vomund uses these lessons learned to create simple but highly effective strategies for trading ETFs.  Fully mechanical strategies are presented on style, sector, and market segment ETFs.  Inverse funds are included.  The book also covers chart pattern reading, market timing, and portfolio management.
