WHAT IS AN ETF?
ETF stands for...
ETFs make wide exposure quicker and simpler.
You can buy an ETF that tracks an entire
market, or even gives you double, triple
or greater exposure to a group of assets.
SPY and QQQ contain shares of every
stock in the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ,
respectively.
ETFs CAN FOCUS ON
SPECIALIZED MARKETS.
They can also be narrowed to specific
sectors or composed of instruments like
bonds or commodities.
When the housing market is hot, you could
invest by buying a house and then selling it later. Or you could skip
all that work and simply buy shares of a Homebuilding ETF (like
XHB or ITB) that includes building supply retailers, heavy equipment
manufacturers and construction companies.
During a gold rush, be the one selling shovels.
Want to see which stocks and ETFs are near a buy zone RIGHT NOW, and how the
pros would plan the trade? Click here to try out SwingTrader!
ETFs are a way to mitigate risk
in volatile industries. A good
example is biotechnology: these
stocks can show big overnight
growth when a successful
new medicine or treatment is
developed—or an overnight crash
when a new drug fails.
KEEP IN
MIND: ETFS
HAVE A COST.
WHAT’S THE
ADVANTAGE
OF AN ETF?
ETFS ARE AN EASY WAY TO BUY
COMMODITIES.
The Gold ETF GLD was not so shiny
in mid-2005, when it was trading at
around $40. But when investors get
spooked, they often come running
to the relative safety of gold. During
the market correction of 2008, GLD
was trading at a high of $96, up
nearly 140%.

It’s called an expense ratio, and
it’s the % that you’ll be paying
in annual fees. Meaning lower is
better. It averages around half a
percent, which is lower than the
average for mutual funds.

way to invest, SwingTrader
gives you the strategies of
market experts. You get a
full trade setup—an ETF or
stock primed for growth, a
buy point, a profit target
and a stop-loss. These trades
produce quick-hit profits over
days, not months.
Exchange

It’s a group of assets that you
trade like an individual stock.
ETFS

SPREAD
OUT RISK.
THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART
OF INVESTING
IN ETFS IS YOUR
STRATEGY.
SwingTrader gives
you the strategies of
market experts.
