-
Across the globe, consumers are feeling the financial burden of higher food prices and the growing cost of fuel, and exchange traded funds (ETFs) will be affected.

Best trade of the week? You could have bought Sarah Palin at 5 on Intrade, or sold Mitt Romney over 70. I never heard of her, but I have long contended America was fine with the whole Mormon thing, just not ready for a President named after baseball equipment….

- NASDAQ Composite Index ($COMP) Chart - August 29, 2008
-
I charted the??NASDAQ NMS Composite Index ($COMP) for the past year’s daily price action ending August 29th, 2008.?? At a glance this chart could look like it’s leaning bullish, but when you zero in on some details that bull might not be a good buy.
At a glance you could see that the Naz broke the downward trend line of lower highs, but when you look closer you see that break was only intraday and could not have a repeat close higher.??

- Eastern Europe, ETFs Feel the U.S. Credit Crunch
-
The economic troubles that weighed down exchange traded funds (ETFs) started here before spreading to Europe. Now, after a strong run, Eastern Europe could be next up to experience a slowdown.
Eastern Europe has been experiencing a bubble all their own, with new private businesses popping up everywhere, and economic and political stability. But the party cannot last forever, and wage costs are creeping up, labor shortages are hurting, infrastructure keeps on aging, which is actually stopping up Poland’s trade, s…

- High Costs, Falling Prices Threaten to Dull Nickel ETF
-
Nickel is on a downward slide that may be greased up by slick oil prices and scaled-back production that could halt growth in exchange traded funds (ETFs) for the time being.
This year, there has been a slump in nickel prices of around 30%, which are blamed on rising prices of oil and the sharp fall in metals prices. Rising costs have forced many plants to halt temporarily or shut down, but these actions do not seem to have any impact on flooring a drop in the price of the metal.

- Tortoise and Hare: Growth ETFs Outpace Value
-
For those investors seeking profit now, rather than after a market recovery, growth-oriented exchange traded funds (ETFs) appear to be outpacing the value. One of the biggest reasons this is happening is because of inflation. Large-cap value companies take a hit from rising input costs when inflation hits.

Like many areas around the globe, Europe is getting crunched hard by the credit crisis, and exchange traded funds (ETFs) focusing on this region are suffering.

- Easy Come - Easy Go. Market Gives Back Gains In Directionless Trading.
-
Yesterday, the market was able to post a nice rally after a better than expected GDP report. Strength from exports and the tax rebate helped to fuel the economy. A decrease in initial jobless claims also helped as did a better than expected durable goods orders report (Wednesday). With many traders taking time off, the market rallied unimpeded. The SPY closed above 130 which is a minor resistance level. Continuation through this resistance would be bullish and we could see short covering. I am very cautious when trading the long side of this market. The intermediate term trend is down and …

- How I Trade Options - Liquidity and Implied Volatility
-
Today’s option trading blog concludes my series - How I Trade Options. To date, I’ve found the trade and quantified my opinion. Here’s how the liquidity and implied volatility of the options influences my strategy selection. One of the advantages of being an individual trader is that I don’t have to worry about “size”. Often, 10 contracts is a large enough position and my order won’t “drive” the market. As a newsletter writer or an institutional trader, I need to make sure the liquidity can support hundreds of contracts. I measure size based on the bid/ask spread and the respective size …

- Long Weekend

I mentioned earlier in the week that I would be on vacation with the rest of the market this week, leaving the site quiet until next week. I know that a lot of people are frustrated with that, and I understand. I have come to understand over my blogging career that you will never please everyone. However, I continue to do my thing, while casting haters aside.
I am happy to announce that OA will re-open for business as scheduled on Tuesday. For those that use the site for ideas, or to chat with the community, it will be available to you. The weekly watchlist will be out on Monday, so make sure you are here to see what I’ve got. I will be contributing here once a day along with offering the daily podcast.
