Daily ETF Roundup: VXX Spikes On BOJ Worries, KBE Slumps

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:30:28 -0400

U.S. equities were in for a wild ride today, as investors digested the Bank of Japan’s latest monetary policy decision. The BOJ announced that it will keep its key interest rate and asset-buying program unchanged, a sign that economic recovery may be picking up. Meanwhile, investors turned their attention to the start of the German Constitutional Court’s two-day hearing that will question the legality of the European Central Bank’s bond-buying program [see The Cheapest ETF for Every Investment Objective]. Global Market Overview: VXX Spikes On BOJ Worries, KBE Slumps After a choppy trading session, all three major U.S. equity indexes fell to close in negative territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF shed 0.66%, after its underlying index fell more than 150 points near the open. The S&P 500 ETF fell 1.03%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq ETF slipped 1.05%. In Europe, markets were lower, with the Stoxx Europe 600 shedding 1.2%. Meanwhile, Asian equities tumbled following the [...]

U.S. Bank ETFs Battle for Inflows: National (KBE) Vs. Regional (KRE)

Thu, 30 May 2013 07:00:29 -0400

The financial sector has seen more than its fair share of ups and downs, but the enduring volatility of this sector has done little to diminish its appeal to investors. While those with a long-term focus may have avoided financials, the increased volatility has attracted more active investors who are counting on strong movements in these funds. While there are many Financial Equity ETFs, there are two particularly interesting funds that are worth digging into: SPDR S&P Bank ETF and SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF [Download How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. Meet the Competitors Both KBE and KRE are State Street funds and have about seven years of market experience behind them. Holding $2.16 million and $1.55 million in total assets under management, respectively, both funds have the extremely low expense ratio of 35 basis points, but both also have relatively high 200 day volatility at about 14.70%.

Daily ETF Roundup: KBE Pops As Banks Charge Ahead, UST Slumps

Tue, 28 May 2013 17:54:00 -0400

Following a long holiday weekend, U.S. equities started off the week on a positive note, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average finishing higher for the 20th straight Tuesday and posting yet another record high. Boosting stocks was an encouraging housing report; the S&P Case-Shiller 20-City home-price index rose 10.39% for March, compared to the expected 10.3% rise. In other economic news, the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index for May also topped analysts’ expectations, jumping to a five-year high of 76.2; the metric was expected to come in at 72 [see The Cheapest ETF for Every Investment Objective]. Global Market Overview: KBE Pops As Banks Charge Ahead, UST Slumps Buoyed by two upbeat economic reports, all three major U.S. equity indexes rallied to close in positive territory.

5 ETFs To Buy Before The Fed Cuts QE

Tue, 28 May 2013 07:00:10 -0400

Last week, Wall Street focused its attention on the latest developments on the Fed front as Ben Bernanke testified before the Senate’s Joint Economic Committee in Washington. In his testimony, the chairman reported that the central bank will remain on its current course of action–the $85 billion per month bond purchasing program–though investors may see monetary policy changes in the “near” future. When asked if the Fed had a timeline or plan as to how they will unwind their massive stimulus measures, Bernanke simply replied “I don’t know.” The latest FOMC minutes also reflected the chairman’s uncertainty, stating that a number of participants favored scaling back the bond-buying program, but views differed about what evidence would be necessary to make such a drastic change [see The Cheapest ETF for Every Investment Objective]. And while further commentary pointed towards the Fed having some kind of plan in place but are unsure of when to [...]

Daily ETF Roundup: Dow Closes Above 14,300

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:00:53 -0500

Strong labor market data coupled with bullish momentum had the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallying once again to fresh highs; for the first time ever, the blue-chip index closed above 14,300. Bolstering today’s third-straight advance was a better-than-expected labor report, which showed that initial jobless claims came in at 340,00 last week, compared to the expected 350,000. In other economic news, the U.S. trade deficit was $44.45 billion, slightly higher than analyst projections. Fourth-quarter productivity fell 1.9%, while unit labor costs rose 4.6% [see Free Member Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. Global Market Overview: Dow Closes Above 14,300 Following today’s better-than-expected labor report, all three major U.S. equity indexes managed to close in positive territory today.

Daily ETF Roundup: Dow Soars To Close Near All-Time High

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:00:40 -0500

Bullish momentum continued today on Wall Street, pushing the Dow within less than 100 points of an all-time closing high. Fueling the rally were a number of upbeat economic reports and further commentary from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. In his second day of testimony, Bernanke stated that unemployment wont reach 6% until 2016, giving further support for the Fed’s current policies, and cautioned Congress about the impacts the looming spending cuts will have. In other economic news, U.S. durable goods orders dropped less than expected, while pending home sales topped analysts expectations, rising 4.5% in January [Be sure to check out the real estate news, trends, tips and tricks over at Dividend.com].

Daily ETF Roundup: Stocks End Flat Despite Earnings Surprises

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:00:10 -0500

Despite a relatively active day on the earnings front, Wall Street was in for a rather lackluster trading session today as investors digested the latest earnings and remained wary of upcoming fiscal talks in Washington. Among today’s bellwether reports, Goldman Sachs (GS) rallied after the company posted fourth quarter earnings that nearly tripled expectations. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) shares, however, declined even after the financial giant exceeded earnings estimates, in part due to the company’s increased mortgage lending profit. JPMorgan also made headlines today after CEO Jamie Dimon’s bonus was cut in half in response to last year’s “London Whale” trading loss. In economic news, the Fed’s beige book released today indicated that the U.S. economy expanded at a “modest” rate in December and early January as the housing sector picked up its pace [see also Seven Simple & Cheap ETF Model Portfolios].

Daily ETF Roundup: Japan Makes Bold Move

Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:00:18 -0500

As Wall Street continued its “breather” from last week’s strong run, stocks closed virtually unchanged in yet another lackluster trading session. Despite this, major U.S. equity indexes still managed to log in their second-straight weekly gain. In fourth quarter earnings news, bellwether Wells Fargo reported that the company’s net interest margin declined more than expected, spooking investors who now believe that low interest rates are taking a heavier toll on net margins. In economic news, the U.S. budget deficit for December totaled $260 million, while the nation’s trade gap widened, bucking economists’ expectations [see also Seven Simple & Cheap ETF Model Portfolios]. Global Market Overview: Japan Makes Bold Move With yet another day of thin trading, only two major U.S. equity indexes managed to claw their way into positive territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average logged in a meager 0.13% gain, while tech-heavy Nasdaq inched 0.13% higher. The S&P 500 closed virtually unchanged. In Europe, markets [...]

Daily ETF Roundup: Stocks Hover Near The Flat Line

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:00:30 -0500

Investors were in for a lackluster trading session today, as stocks wavered in a narrow range on cautions of continuing fiscal cliff talks. Though no major economic reports were released today, many paid close attention to President Obama’s comments in a television interview today, where he stated that the Republican’s counter offer of $800 billion in revenues through tax reforms and $2.2 trillion in net savings was out of balance. He did, however, express his continuing optimism for the split Congress to come together on a viable solution [see also 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn]. Global Market Overview: Stocks Hover Near The Flat Line After bobbing in and out of negative territory throughout the day, U.S. equities closed in the red once again. Tech-heavy Nasdaq came in at the bottom of the barrel, posting a 0.18% loss. The S&P 500 slid 0.17% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average logged in a 0.11% loss. In Europe, [...]

5 Worst ETF Strategies Of The Last 5 Years

Thu, 09 Aug 2012 07:00:12 -0400

The financial crash of 2008 has forever changed the way investors approach the market. After seeing bottom-line returns crumble before their eyes, many are now understandably wary of particularly risky asset classes. Portfolio allocation strategies have now become a game of musical chairs, as investors shift their assets to and from various sectors trying to park their capital in the “safest,” yet highest yielding, investments [see also 3 ETFs For Roubini's "Perfect Storm"]. The ETF universe has not been spared by the recent financial crisis, as several products have either lost their footing or have been seemingly kicked to the curb. Not surprisingly, some of the worst performers have been products that employ strategies that target a particular sector or asset class. With such a narrow focus, these funds struggle to deliver steady returns and are often the ones that are most affected by market volatility. Whether you’re looking to completely [...]

Mid Day Roundup: Stocks Drift Sideways After Bank Downgrades

Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:00:42 -0400

After a volatile day of trading, U.S. stocks managed to bounce back from yesterday’s steep sell off as several long-anticipated global bank downgrades surprisingly led financials higher. Obviously the name of the game today is “buying on bad news”, a trend that has frequently popped up on Wall Street over the past couple of weeks. From another perspective, this morning’s rally could simply be the case of markets taking a breather from yesterday’s brutal pounding. Similarly, investors could also be looking at the downgrades as a necessary correction, eliminating the threats of the unknown and of prior bank speculations [see also 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn]. Moody’s Investors Service laid its cards on the table today, delivering a major blow to the financial industry.

According to a recent survey by Bank of America, global investors have started 2012 with fairly bullish prospects and greater appetite for risk [see also 12 Rapid Fire ETF Ideas For 2012].
