Know Your ETF’s Holdings

Edit Article |

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and options on ETFs have exploded in popularity in recent years.  They offer securities that trade like stocks but are micro-focused in almost every sector in the markets (including international, commodity, short, ultra short, etc.).  But there can be a great difference in the holdings, diversification and trade strategy of ETFs, even within one particular sector.

For example, let’s take a look at ETFs in the Financial Sector.  There are many ETFs that track this group, not even including the short and ultra short ones.  Among the group of Financial ETFs include iShares S&P Global Financials (IXG), iShares Dow Jones U.S. Financial (IYF), iShares Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services (IYG), Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF), Vanguard Financials (VFH), Rydex S&P Equal Weight Financials (RYF), PowerShares FTSE Rafi Financials (PRFF), First Trust Financials AlphaDEX (FXO), and PowerShares Dynamic Financials (PFI). 

This list does not even include International, Bank, Insurance, Preferred, Short, Ultra and other types of Financial related ETFs.

Let’s examine the diversification and top holdings of the above mentioned ETFs (all data from Yahoo Finance).

IXG – Top 10 Holdings are 24.44% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
JPM – 4.3%
HSBC – 4.25%
WFC – 2.58%

IYF – Top 10 Holdings are 37.91% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
JPM – 10%
WFC – 5.58%
GS – 4.28%

IYG – Top 10 Holdings are 57.68% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
JPM – 15.7%
WFC – 8.76%
GS – 6.72%

XLF – Top 10 Holdings are 51.15% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
JPM – 12.34%
WFC – 10.34%
BAC – 5.45%

VFH – Top 10 Holdings are 36.86% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
JPM – 8.2%
WFC – 7.26%
BAC – 5.02%

RYF – Top 10 Holdings are 17.01% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
SLM – 2.15%
MS – 1.92%
FII – 1.78%

PRFF – Top 10 Holdings are 48.19% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
JPM – 11.15%
WFC – 8.59%
BRK/B – 6.34%

FXO- Top 10 Holdings are 14.51% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
WRB – 1.85%
AWH – 1.6%
PRE – 1.47%

PFI – Top 10 Holdings are 25.73% of assets.
Top 3 Holdings:
AMP – 3.12%
MET – 2.85%
UNM – 2.71%

Now, all ETFs have different rules regarding re-balancing of holdings, discretion of holdings, focus, etc — and some are more liquid than others, both in stock and option volume.  Recent massive market capitalization changes in individual stocks have certainly made an impact of the relative weightings of holdings in this sector, as well.

But certainly the active investor would be wise to know what they are buying when they invest or trade in one of these ETFs or the options on them.  For example, the likes of IYG, XLF, and PRFF have around 50% of their holdings in their Top 10 Assets — meaning they are not very diversified.  In addition on IYG for example, around 25% of the holdings are in JPM and WFC alone (based on the data utilized above) … so the performance of that ETF will be greatly affected by just 2 securities.  In one way you could say that is much more risky, but from another perspective you could view that as getting more “bang for the buck”.

Then there are the very diversified ETFs, some of which attempt to equal-weight — such as RYF and FXO, where the Top Holdings comprise about 15% of assets and the top holdings are around 2% of assets.

In the current market environment, we have seen many sectors move “en masse” quite a bit — more than what is normally the case.  So these ETFs may also move as a group — and also remember that supply & demand is a big factor in ETF performance, because they trade as stocks, not on the actual value of their assets.  But as the market settles down into more of a “stock picking” environment and if arbitrage-type discrepancies are seen in various ETFs vs. individual stocks, etc (as has been seen recently in preferred vs. common, closed-end funds, etc) … then you may begin to see more price performance disparity in ETFs based on their holdings and diversification.

The bottom line is that when one is looking at investing in or trading an ETF or options on an ETF, you should examine the holdings, structure, and goals of the ETF to see which one most matches the expectations (short or long term) you have for that sector.

Thoughts on an Overbought Market

Anatomy of a Market Bottom
I’m not a big fan of calling bottoms or tops. Frankly, it’s a guessing game, like touching an electric stove when you think it may not be on…but this game leaves most with burned hands. I prefer going for trends and higher probabilities. However, unless you think there is no value in equities (and yes, some actually DO believe this), then at some point of a market drop there will be a turn higher.

A Look at Gaps and Fills in Technical Analysis

Let’s take a look at Gaps and Fills, which are fairly well known technical indicators. A gap is exactly as it sounds, a gap between the data points of a stock’s chart. Often the Daily Chart is useful for examining gaps, because there has to be some significant buying or selling pressure that causes a stock to move up or down sharply on the open on a particular day, then not “fill in” that gapped area during that trading day.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

Do You Really Know How To Buy Stocks?

Edit Article |

Posted: Dec 08, 2006 |Comments: 0
| Views: 11,118 |

Stocks can be referred to as inventories that can be anything, which a firm has and is not currently being pre-owned by the firm’s functions. Many departments resource within the company will have Stocks of something or the other.

To buy stock you should be familiar with the stocks available in the market. The factory can have Stocks of raw materials ready to produce, the office can have Stocks of stationery and the warehouse can have Stocks of finished goods.

In order to run a company and function smoothly Stocks are essential. There will also be people or companies who will be ready to purchase stock from you. In case, if the production had to be stopped every repeated time the firm ran out of raw materials, the time wasted then can cost the firm a fortune.

Similarly if a shop had no Stocks on the excellent shelves, customers could soon desert them or say drift away from their shop. The same is true of most areas the firm operates in – I am sure you can easily appreciate the importance of planning ahead and having suitable levels of stocks.

How to buy stocks?

To purchase stock in a company is comparatively easy once you’ve researched the stocks you’re interested in and have a broker or brokerage account to handle your purchase. This makes the effort to buy stock a bit easier.

You should always educate yourself fully and get the information to purchase stock and brokers on the Internet purchasing them. Decide on what you want in a broker or a brokerage account. Do you want to meet with someone face-to-face or want to be able to reach someone on the phone? Do you require Internet access?

Is price your only concern? Do you want to buy stock and sell only stocks, or could you also like to purchase stock and sell mutual funds, bonds or foreign stocks?

Choose a broker or brokerage firm to buy stock on your behalf based on your needs. Need a complete heap of advice? Start with a full-service brokerage before you purchase stock the least expensive brokers cannot offer advice. Fairly confidant and want low prices? Try an online brokerage then to satisfy your needs to buy stock.

Contact a broker or firm and ask for an application. Many firms offer online applications, although most require that you send review or wire money to actually open the account to get the details to purchase stock.

Deliver a check in person if possible to speed up the process to buy stock. Begin to sell and purchase stock once your account is open. Review statements you obtain and reevaluate your portfolio’s performance. The concept to buy stock is considered to be as current assets because many types of stocks can be converted into cash reasonably readily.

In particular to purchase stock of finished goods. However, they are generally the least liquid of the current assets. At times of recession or similar circumstances it may be very difficult for the firm to buy stock or sell stocks, and so although they may be listed as a certain value their true value may be lower.

Although the most admired and functional way to purchase stock and sell investments, opening a brokerage account is not absolutely necessary. Many investors aren’t aware of the alternative ways to buy stock and them along with mutual funds. Although working with a qualified broker definitely has advantages, it can be better, to get an acquisition to purchase stock directly.

A number of companies, offer direct stock acquisition plans. These plans allow investors to buy stock and shares of stock directly from the company.

Many have a minimum initial deposit but are happy to disown it in most cases, if someone that understands and has expert knowledge agrees to automatic monthly withdrawals from your checking or savings account. Thus, satisfying the need to purchase stock regularly.

Another way in which the company automatically helps to buy stock for you is by debiting your bank account each and every month. This can be an easy and relatively painless way to save and purchase stock according to your own convenience.

Hence, always think carefully and then only decide to buy stock.

Stock Market Investing – Start Your Own Fantasy League

Not only can investing be financially rewarding, it can also be lots of fun. Unfortunately, a lot of people sacrifice what could be both very lucrative and enjoyable because they’re afraid. Many people are reluctant to ask questions about investing, so they act as if they’re not interested.

But deep down inside, almost every American wishes he or she were more knowledgeable about stock market investing, reaping the market’s financial rewards and having a good time all along.

Knowledge of investing is something that most people would like to pass on to their children. In fact, investing is a great activity for fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters.

But in order to pass on this wealth of knowledge and share in the joys of stock market investing with your loved ones, you have to learn a few basic stocks. The good news is that you don’t have to learn about thousands of companies in order to understand the market . For starters, you have to focus on just 30.

Understand These 30 Companies And You Will Understand Stock Market Investing

You’ve probably heard a TV newscaster say, “The market was down 75 points today,” or, “It was a good day for investing; the market was up by 100.3.”

When financial pundits refer to “the market” being either up or down, they’re normally talking about the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), also known as “The Dow.” This is the most important of all of the stock market investing indices.

Dow Jones is the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Baron’s, and SmartMoney magazine. Around 100 years ago, Charles Dow started the company with a little financial newsletter in which he created the DJIA in order to summarize market investing on a daily basis.

Now, even as there are tens of thousands of publicly traded companies, the DJIA is still the gold standard of stock market investing, even though it consists of only 30 stocks.

Those 30 stocks are from all sorts of different industries, with the goal being for them to represent the market as a whole. Everything changes, even these 30.

The 30 stocks in the DJIA are Alcoa (AA), AIG Insurance (AIG), American Express (AXP), Boeing (BA), Citigroup©, Caterpillar (CAT), Du Pont (DD), Walt Disney (DIS), General Electric (GE), General Motors (GM), Home Depot (HD), Honeywell (HON), Hewlett Packard (HPQ), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), J.P. Morgan (JPM), Coca Cola (KO), McDonalds (MCD), 3M (MMM), Altria (the company formerly known as Phillip Morris, MO), Merck (MRK), Microsoft (MSFT), Pfizer (PFE), Proctor & Gamble (PG), A T & T (T), United Technologies (UTX), Verizon (VZ), Wal-Mart (WMT), and Exxon Mobil (XOM).

Since the DJIA companies serve as a microcosm for the broader stock market, you can learn all about investing by following the news and price movements of these 30 stocks. A fun and unique way to do this is to start a fantasy stock market league.

Create A Fantasy Stock Market Investing League

So you want to learn more about investing, but you lack the funds (or perhaps the guts) to risk real money? Start a fantasy stock investing league.

A fantasy stock market investing league is just like a fantasy football or baseball league, except you need fewer people to get started. Just invite five other friends over and randomly determine the order of the “draft” by drawing names out of a hat.

The person whose name is drawn first gets first pick of the 30 DJIA stocks. The person whose name is drawn second gets second pick, and so on. No stock can be picked by two people, and the draft order should reverse each round so that the person who picks last in round one, picks first in round two, etc.

With six players in your fantasy league, each player will have a fantasy portfolio of five stocks. Record the starting prices of each stock, and then five weeks later, reconvene to see who has made the most money.

You’ll get the most out of the game if you can create a simple web site for your fantasy stock market investing league where people can post daily updates on a message board or forum.

Some fantasy investing leagues have more complex rules where players can trade stocks or invest additional fantasy money each week. Make it as simple or as complex as you would like.

Stock Market Investing Can Be The Greatest Hobby In The World

Once you understand investing, it will be a lifelong source of pleasure. Unlike football or baseball, stock market investing season is all year long. Believe it or not, you might turn on CNBC one day and laugh at the commentary – investing has a language and style of humor all its own.

So stop standing on the sidelines and get involved! Make a commitment with your spouse or a friend to learn about the stock market together, and get started today!

What women should know while investing in the stock market?

Edit Article |

Posted: Sep 15, 2009 |Comments: 1

Women are gaining strongholds in all fields and it is not long when the stock market will be dominated by women. Women have rational thinking and they are known to be masters in multitasking. So do not be surprised if all the successful investors in the stock market are women. Women need to save money for retirement and the stock market can help you achieve this saving. You should not be too conservative, as stock markets require you to take some risks. Learn to practice asset allocation and diversify your portfolio to get maximum returns.   Here are some facts that women should know while they consider trading options. Women can be great investors, and ignore the saying that women are not suited for this business. It is easier for women to follow the stock market, and trade quickly because you just need an internet connection and everything is there online. There are many sites that will help you get the required information. Women can surely outsmart men by just investing wisely and following the market properly.   Women are generally cautious by nature and so fit perfectly into the stock market trading conditions. You should be up to date with the latest social, political, domestic and international news so that you can take the right financial decision at the right time. if women start investing at the earliest they will observe that they can amass a fortune if the trends in the stock market are their favor. Start with small investments and if all goes well, widen your horizon.   If you invest in too many conservative stocks then tax and inflation can gobble up all your money. Take risks and you will see opportunities that can be converted into profits. Buy and hold on to good companies for long term and try and make short term profits depending upon the market sentiments.   Asset allocation is one of the terms that you have to study and increase your knowledge. Spread your money so that you are not at risk.. One bad day and one bad stock trade can leave you devastated if you put all your money on a certain stock. Don’t be scared to invest, the stock market is not only for men, women too can earn a fortune with the right kind of investments. Take expert opinions in case of doubt and you can get information about all the companies on the internet with a click of a button.

I think a certain amount of caution when investing in the stock market is healthy. I have been trading and investing in the stock market on my own behalf for 12 years. For me, I didn’t start getting great results until I learned and followed a system for selecting and trading stocks / ETFs. I follow the system and don’t make decisions based on emotion. I don’t get attached to an investment, and I know when to exit if I have made the wrong choice. I don’t ride a stock all the way to broke. It’s critical in risk management. I’ve been using this system for the last 7 years and it’s worked well for me. Also, as soon as someone starts telling me what I should do (the analysts, the guy on the corner, etc.), I tune them out. I do my own research and follow my system.

Stock Index Basics Every Stock Trader Should Know

Edit Article |

Posted: Jun 02, 2008 |Comments: 0
| Views: 284 |

A stock index looks at statistical averages for a certain part of the market or a stock exchange. Stocks are included in an index based on common traits-for example, they may be traded on the same exchange; be from the same industry; come from companies of a certain size; or represent a geographic location.

The best-known indexes in the United States are the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NYSE Composite index, and the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index; there are also many others. Stock indexes offer an overall look at the economic health of a particular industry or stock exchange.

Indexes are calculated in a number of ways. A “price-weighted index” is based exclusively on stock prices. This kind of index does not consider the importance of any one stock in the index or the company’s size. In contrast, a “market value weighted” index considers the size of the companies. That way, price shifts of small companies have less of an effect than those of larger companies in the index. Another third type of index, the “market-share weighted” index, is based on the number of shares instead of their total value.

In addition to providing an overall assessment of the health of specific economies, indexes can also be a worthwhile tool for investors. For example, “Passively managed mutual funds,” a type of fund based on indexes, have been shown to outperform managed funds on a consistent basis. If a mutual fund is based on an index, it duplicates whatever holdings the index is based on. That is, if the NYSE rises by one percentage point, the NYSE-based fund also rises by one percent. This results in lower costs for research and transactions – savings that can be passed on to the fund’s investors.

The best-known index in the United States is probably the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which tracks the stock activity of 30 of America’s most important companies, such as General Electric, Coca Cola, IBM, and General Motors. As a “price-weighted average” index, it assigns more weight to more expensive stocks. Some analysts believe, however, that this price weighting does not present stock market movements accurately, and they also feel that a group of 30 companies is too small to allow an appropriate assessment.

The S&P 500 Index is based on 500 carefully chosen U.S. companies that represent a wide variety of economic activity. Only the Dow Jones is more influential, and the S&P is considered to be an accurate predictor of the condition of the United States economy.

The FTSE 100 Index is the most influential index outside of the United States. Based on 100 of the largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, this index is one of the largest in Europe and is regarded as an indicator of the British economy. The CAC 40 from France and the Nikkei 225 from Japan are other major indexes in other countries.

Those wishing to trade the movements of a particular index have more options than ever. The introduction of ETF’s or Exchange Traded funds made it possible for more traders and investors to participate in the movements of an entire index without having to purchase every stock listed in the index. ETF’s have now grown to become very popular and therefore very liquid. For instance, the QQQQ, PowerShares QQQ Trust have over 100 million shares traded on a daily basis.

The Way A Bond Originator Can Assist In The Purchase Of Bank Home Loans

Obtaining home financing may possibly be a confusing and nerve-racking procedure if you are doing it the very first time. Not only is there the stress of realizing you are about to enter into debt for decades but the unfamiliarity of the course of action and the tons of forms. All things considered, purchasing a house is not something an individual does every day. All this and your loan application hasn’t in reality been accepted by a bank yet!

Business Loans and Business Finance – What You Need to Know

Edit Article |

Posted: Apr 09, 2008 |Comments: 0
|

With the increasingly chaotic investment climate for residential financing in the United States, more residential real estate investors are exploring commercial property and business finance opportunities. It is important for prospective business owners and investors to educate themselves about options for the business loans and commercial mortgages they will be needing.

Environmental requirements for business finance will be a complex issue for numerous business investments. Environmental issues involved in a business loan will primarily depend upon the commercial lender as well as the type of business. More extensive requirements can impact both the cost and timing for a commercial mortgage loan.

Tax returns and financial statements for a business loan are likely to be a concern for all commercial borrowers. Whereas residential mortgage financing is likely to involve only personal tax returns, most business financing will include a review of business tax returns as well. Business financial statements and personal financial statements will be required for certain kinds of business opportunity financing and commercial real estate financing.

Secondary financing will often be a means of acquiring desired commercial loans. The use of seller financing or secondary financing is a prudent business financing strategy to reduce capital requirements for the borrower. Secondary financing will not be accepted by all commercial lenders.

An unexpected requirement for many commercial loans involves sourcing and seasoning of funds. When purchasing a business, some lenders will require that borrowers document where the down payment is coming from (sourcing) and how long the funds have been in that location (seasoning). If a borrower cannot adequately provide this documentation, the choice of commercial lenders will be more restricted.

Collateral and cross-collateralization for business loans will be an insurmountable obstacle for some commercial borrowers. Collateral requirements for business financing will depend on many factors such as down payment, type of business, credit scores and the type of financing needed. Cross-collateralization refers to lender requirements involving personal collateral such as a home used as collateral for a business loan.

Any requirement for a business plan when obtaining commercial mortgages is likely to be expensive and time-consuming. A business plan is not always required for a business loan, but when one is required this will add significantly to the cost and length of the loan process.

An increasing problem for commercial borrowers seeking refinancing is an unreasonable limitation for getting cash out of the new loan. Commercial lenders differ significantly regarding restrictions imposed on the amount of cash out to the borrower when refinancing. Some lenders will not permit any cash out whatsoever while others will limit cash received by the borrower to a particular amount. The preferred approach is to use a lender that will allow cash to be paid out up to an agreed loan-to-value (frequently 75%).

It is important to to thoroughly analyze business financing lockout penalties. A lockout penalty is much more severe than a prepayment penalty in that such penalties can effectively prevent a commercial borrower from selling or refinancing during a prescribed period (often two to five years).

In addition to the issues noted above, numerous other key business finance and real estate mortgage issues will also be important to evaluate. Commercial mortgage requirements are very different from residential financing requirements in the United States. We have prepared several other business finance overviews addressing additional factors that will be significant for most commercial borrowers. Separate report topics include SBA loan refinancing, business opportunity financing, stated income business loans and commercial appraisals.
