3 ETFs With Strong Returns After 3 Years

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace The track record of any managed investment program goes a long way toward building a foundation, as well as a following of investors. The one-year return is too short and the five-year return eliminates a number of programs that are performing well and just have not been around long enough. This leaves the three-year return as the key metric for the up-and-comers that have survived. One ETF that fits in this category is the Rydex S&P Midcap 400 Pure Growth Fund (NYSE: RFG ). The three-year return calculated as of Aug. 31, 2011, is 14.62%, though it experienced a -9.56% return in the past three months. RFG has found a nice spot in the mix of equity ETFs, and the short-term drop might be a buying opportunity for the long-term investor. Top 10 holdings and weightings are listed below. Green Mountain Coffee ( NASDAQ : GMCR ): 5.37% Deckers Outdoor Corp. ( NASDAQ : DECK ): 2.38% Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX ): 2.19% NewMarket Corp. (NYSE: NEU ): 2.11% Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. (NYSE: MRX ): 1.95% Hansen Natural Corp . ( NASDAQ : HANS ): 1.85% Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL ): 1.81% The Cooper Companies (NYSE: COO ): 1.75% Under Armour (NYSE: UA ): 1.73% Valassis Communications (NYSE: VCI ): 1.64% Management of RFG has a disciplined approach to portfolio holdings. With the exception of the top four stocks, the remainder of the portfolio has less than 2% to any one issue. RFG is an exception to most over-diversified programs by delivering returns greater than the field. The second ETF that deserves recognition is the Select SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSE: XPH ). The three-year return calculated as of Aug. 31, 2011, is 14.03%, and the three-month return is -2.11%. XPH had a significant run starting at the end of 2009. Again, the recent drop in value represents a buying opportunity. The top 10 holdings and weightings are listed below. Jazz Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: JAZZ ): 4.38% Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: WPI ): 4.28% Bristol -Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY ): 4.23% Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX ): 4.23% Perrigo (NASDAQ: PRGO ): 4.19% Allergan (NYSE: AGN ): 4.16% Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT ): 4.10% Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY ): 4.10% Mylan (NASDAQ: MYL ): 4.08% Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK ): 4% XPH management appears to take a equal weighting approach to the top half of the portfolio. The reasoning is to pick the solid pharmaceutical stocks to drive the returns of the portfolio and not take excess risk to any one stock. This method is working, as XPH is beating the average market returns for the same period. Rounding out the list, the iShares MSCI Malaysia Index Fund (NYSE: EWM ) posted a three-year return of 16.48%, though its three-month return is -13.68%. EWM focuses on holding stocks that make up the MSCI Malaysia Index . Because of the exposure to foreign markets, it might not be as simple to take the current drop in value as a buying opportunity. If you’re going to dip your toes into this ETF, get comfortable with the strategy first. The sector breakdown of the portfolio is listed below. Financials : 32.35% Industrials : 18.48% Consumer Staples : 11.36% Consumer Discretionary : 11.23% Telecommunications : 10.88% Utilities : 9.18% Materials : 5.08% Energy : 1.27% Short-Term Securities : 0.02% Other : 0.15% EWM has a selective strategy. The focus on financials might be an indication of acquiring shares in depressed stocks today. Time will tell if this weighting will pay off. Jeffrey L.

Will Selling Pressure Overpower ‘Operation Twist?’

The Fed last week unleashed a $400 billion package to boost the economy. To say
the market didnt react favorably would be an understatement. The Financial
Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF ) greeted the program with an 8% haircut. The S&P,
Dow Jones and Nasdaq fell 4% to 6%. On the bright side, the yield of the 10-year
T-Note dropped another 0.242%, from one all-time low to the next. Will Operation
Twist eventually buoy stocks, or will the market overpower the Feds half-hearted
effort? Believe it or not, but after some more suffering, I believe the Fed
eventually will reap some (temporary) credit for this stick save. Bernanke Must
Be Surprised In his Feb. 9 speech before the U.S. House of Representatives, Ben
Bernanke was quick to take credit for the results of QE2: Since then (the onset
of QE2), equity prices have risen significantly, volatility in the equity market
has fallen. All of these developments are what one would expect to see when
monetary policy becomes more accommodative. On Feb. 9, the S&P closed at 1,320,
the VIX at 15.87. Today the S&P is 13% lower while the VIX has soared a stunning
160%. Bernankes credibility has tumbled somewhere between 13% and 160%. Contrary
to Bernankes upbeat outlook, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter published the
following chart just a week after Bernankes comfy cozy assessment of QE2 and the
stock markets reaction. The chart shows a giant bearish head-and-shoulders or M
pattern. At the time, the Newsletter projected a market top at 1,382-1,385. The
April 4 ETF Profit Strategy update refined the target range: In terms of
resistance levels, the 1,369-1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of
potentially historic proportions. Sleep in the Bed You Made Operation Twist the
Feds latest concoction became necessary because QE2 didnt stick. Banks
graciously accepted the generous $600 billion donation, but despite the huge
cash infusion, the Banking Index today trades 22% below its Nov. 3, 2010 prices,
when QE2 was launched. Will Operation Twist be More Successful than QE2? QE2
created $600 billion out of thin air while Operation Twist merely changes the
maturities of the Feds existing balance sheet. During the next nine months, the
Fed will sell $400 billion worth of short-term (three years or less) Treasuries
and use the proceeds to buy maturities ranging from six to 30 years. Maturing
mortgage-backed securities will be reinvesting in MBS, not in Treasuries. If you
are wondering how this approach of transferring money from the left to the right
pant pockets makes a difference, youve already found the reason for the
post-FOMC-announcement meltdown. Wall Street considered the proposal
half-hearted and the stated goal of lowering long-term interests unnecessary,
especially considering the yield on the 10-Year T-Note already is at a
multi-decade low.

Weekly Outlook for September 26-30

Following the turbulence in the financial markets during the second part of last
week with the FOMC stimulus plan and the CME decision to raise margins on gold
and silver contracts, this week the financial markets will continue to dwell
over the debt crisis in Europe and in particular the Greek debt crisis.

3 ETFs With Strong Returns After 3 Years

The track record of any managed investment program goes a long way toward
building a foundation, as well as a following of investors. The one-year return
is too short and the five-year return eliminates a number of programs that are
performing well and just have not been around long enough. This leaves the
three-year return as the key metric for the up-and-comers that have survived.
One ETF that fits in this category is the Rydex S&P Midcap 400 Pure Growth Fund
(NYSE: RFG ). The three-year return calculated as of Aug. 31, 2011, is 14.62%,
though it experienced a -9.56% return in the past three months. RFG has found a
nice spot in the mix of equity ETFs, and the short-term drop might be a buying
opportunity for the long-term investor. Top 10 holdings and weightings are
listed below. Green Mountain Coffee (NASDAQ: GMCR ): 5.37% Deckers Outdoor Corp.
(NASDAQ: DECK ): 2.38% Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX ): 2.19% NewMarket Corp.
(NYSE: NEU ): 2.11% Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. (NYSE: MRX ): 1.95% Hansen
Natural Corp . (NASDAQ: HANS ): 1.85% Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL ): 1.81% The Cooper
Companies (NYSE: COO ): 1.75% Under Armour (NYSE: UA ): 1.73% Valassis
Communications (NYSE: VCI ): 1.64% Management of RFG has a disciplined approach
to portfolio holdings. With the exception of the top four stocks, the remainder
of the portfolio has less than 2% to any one issue. RFG is an exception to most
over-diversified programs by delivering returns greater than the field. The
second ETF that deserves recognition is the Select SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF
(NYSE: XPH ). The three-year return calculated as of Aug. 31, 2011, is 14.03%,
and the three-month return is -2.11%. XPH had a significant run starting at the
end of 2009. Again, the recent drop in value represents a buying opportunity.
The top 10 holdings and weightings are listed below. Jazz Pharmaceuticals
(NASDAQ: JAZZ ): 4.38% Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: WPI ): 4.28% Bristol -Myers
Squibb (NYSE: BMY ): 4.23% Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX ): 4.23% Perrigo
(NASDAQ: PRGO ): 4.19% Allergan (NYSE: AGN ): 4.16% Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT ):
4.10% Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY ): 4.10% Mylan (NASDAQ: MYL ): 4.08% Merck & Co.
(NYSE: MRK ): 4% XPH management appears to take a equal weighting approach to
the top half of the portfolio. The reasoning is to pick the solid pharmaceutical
stocks to drive the returns of the portfolio and not take excess risk to any one
stock. This method is working, as XPH is beating the average market returns for
the same period. Rounding out the list, the iShares MSCI Malaysia Index Fund
(NYSE: EWM ) posted a three-year return of 16.48%, though its three-month return
is -13.68%. EWM focuses on holding stocks that make up the MSCI Malaysia Index.
Because of the exposure to foreign markets, it might not be as simple to take
the current drop in value as a buying opportunity. If youre going to dip your
toes into this ETF, get comfortable with the strategy first. The sector
breakdown of the portfolio is listed below. Financials : 32.35% Industrials :
18.48% Consumer Staples : 11.36% Consumer Discretionary : 11.23%
Telecommunications : 10.88% Utilities : 9.18% Materials : 5.08% Energy : 1.27%
Short-Term Securities : 0.02% Other : 0.15% EWM has a selective strategy. The
focus on financials might be an indication of acquiring shares in depressed
stocks today. Time will tell if this weighting will pay off. Jeffrey L. Stouffer

Both Contract gold and contract silver finished out the week on the negative side of breakeven once again as the two precious metals followed the general stock indicators lower overall for the week. Investors were not swayed to position with the safe haven appeal of gold throughout the last week, even as stocks experienced a significant sell-off around mid-week. Most investors have concluded that precious metal gold has reached its relative peak and is overexposed in the short term. A correction is necessary before investors decide to position with the safe haven commodities once again. The corrections began this past week. Gold prices tumbled in noteworthy fashion on Thursday and Friday of this past trading week. Contract gold for December delivery finished out the last trading session red by 5.9 percent at 1639.80 per troy ounce. The last trading session of this past week denoted the first drop for gold prices over the 100 dollar mark in over 30 years. Contract silver for December delivery finished the day lower by 13.67 percent at 30.10 per troy ounce. Recent checks on spot gold and spot silver prices reveal negative action as well. Spot gold price per gram was trending red by 2.68 at 53.24 and spot silver price per ounce was trending red by 5.44 at 31.09. The DJIA finished the week lower by 738 points.

DG365FD46564GFH654FU898 Bullion traders had to endure the worst week for gold and silver especially in the last couple of days of the week. The financial markets started the descent on Thursday as US stock markets sharply fell; US Dollar sharply appreciated against major currencies; major commodities prices including gold price and crude oil prices precipitately declined. Many attributed this sharp reaction in the financial markets to the disappointment from the Fed’s plan to purchase long term securities and no QE3 program. But the next day, most of the indexes and prices leveled out with crude oil prices slightly falling, USD deprecating and US stock markets regaining back some of their value. Yet, the bullion markets continues to fall very sharply: gold price closed the last trading day of the week with a 5.85% drop and silver price with a 17.71% decrease – the sharpest falls in a single day in 2011 for these precious metals.
