When trading in ETFs, I prefer the larger ETFs that have better volumes. There are literally 0’s of ETFs available but many have low volume and no options available. The trades done today in ETFs are in large ETFs that have lots of volume and option premiums are good which makes the trades easier to setup and more profitable. The great thing about most large ETFs is the ability to repair trades that fail. Larger ETFs have one important factor for most investors. They leave…

The Fed’s decision yesterday, March 15, to raise interest rates another quarter of a percent, initially saw bonds jump. I thought the reaction was simply knee-jerk because reading through the Fed announcement it is obvious they are heading toward 3% by mid-2019. This means bonds have further to fall in my opinion, but certainly not overnight. As always there will be spikes and dips and those are what I look for to trade in. The TLT ETF is the 20 year plus ETF from iShares.…

However after the open gold fell back and by the end of the day GLD was down to $121.56 as the big opening bounce died quickly, once it became obvious that the stock markets were not going to fall apart. Dire predictions of a collapse…

With Donald Trump winning the Presidency there are other trades worth considering. One of those has to be in gold. Gold has been volatile since the start of the year and uncertainty from the election is bound to pressure gold higher in my opinion. That does not mean gold will strike out into new highs and start another move to further heights. It could just mean that gold will remain volatile, which is perfect for those who like to trade this precious metal. This is…
