Purpose of Reviewing ETFs: The primary reason for analyzing ETFs isn’t just an interest in charts; it’s about identifying winning strategies to enhance our investment decisions. By examining ETFs, we can spot potential strengths or weaknesses across different sectors, guiding us toward profitable investments or steering us clear of potential pitfalls.
Strategy Behind ETF Analysis: ETFs offer a window into the performance of sectors and industries. For instance, a thriving technology ETF can lead us to its top holdings, which are often market leaders. This approach is about being systematic and organized, leveraging ETFs to identify leading groups and stocks.
Key Observations Across Various Sectors:
