Rating: 5
For a long time now I have believed and proven to myself that I could predict a trend for a specific sector of stocks. Also I have believed that using ETF's would provide me a way to purchase a sector of stocks based on my prediction.
This book explains it all to me so I now understand EFT's enough to begin using Tom Lydon's investment strategy.
The 200 day moving average should work as the way to control my buys and sells.
The exit strategy will protect me from major losses.
The list of various ETF's and what the do in the book are very helpful.
Bottom line, thank you Tom for writing this helpful book to help me understand better the in's and out's of EFT trading.
