October 26, 2011 Market Snapshot Tired of hearing about the European debt crisis? I know I am! The good news is we’re nearing an end to the latest round of the crisis.

October 19, 2011 Market Snapshot Here we go again! Just when you thought Europe had a plan in place to deal with their debt crisis… oops! We find out they’re not even close.

SET Portfolio Update October 2011
October 4, 2011 Dear Sector ETF Trader Reader, It’s been an ugly five months since the S&P 500 peaked in early May. At the time, we were riding high on Fed stimulus induced optimism and the elimination of public enemy #1, Osama bin Laden. Now the large cap index is down 19% from the April […]
SET Monthly Issue September 2011
September 2011 SKATING ON THIN ICE Believe it or not, stocks rose this month. In fact, all nine of the sectors we track posted gains since we published the August issue of Sector ETF Trader.
