What To Trade?
 

At Indextrades.net, our timing service is dedicated to timing the stock market indexes to provide superior returns over the course of time. Indextrades.net  thinks the market can be timed and has developed systems to help you do so. We invite you to take a look for yourself and see our system results. We give you a complete list of past trades for you to look at and analyze and to see what the systems have achieved. We think index timing can be done and makes much more sense than buy and hold investing.

If you are a day trader, and like sitting in front of a computer all day entering trades, our system isn't for you. Our systems take only takes a few minutes a day to check, and lets you live your life the rest of the time. We give you very clear signals. You can check the signal page each evening and will know exactly what to do. Our stock market index timing signals tell you when to buy, sell, or stay in cash. With Indextrades.net, there is no guessing, just clear advise on what side of the market you should be on.

 The investments we feel that work best with our signals are, Exchange Traded Funds or ETF's, the Potomac Funds, ProFunds or Rydex Mutual funds. In a nutshell, an ETF is a specific kind of no-load mutual fund that you might consider to be a basket of stocks. ETFs are diversified like mutual funds, only they trade like stocks. They are cheap to trade and don't hit you with any short-term redemption fees. And they offer investing opportunities across the board.

In addition to inexpensive trades and no short-term redemption fees, how else can ETFs save you money vs. no load mutual funds? One way is on their annual management fees. That fee for ETFs is in the area of 0.45% vs. 1.5% on average for no load mutual funds. The fees charged by discount broker are so low they almost can be disregarded, usually less than 0.1% of the transaction.

ETFs track every index under the sun including the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 Index. Available through any discount broker, they basically fall into one of three categories: broad-based U.S. indexes, sectors and international.

A word of caution! Just because ETFs are cheap and easy to buy doesn't mean they will guarantee you a profit. You can lose money with them just as easily as you do with no-load mutual funds!

The Potomac Funds, Profunds, and Rydex mutual funds will work well if you like to use margin to trade for your accounts.  They also are good for retirement accounts as they allow you to sell short through several of their funds, which you can not do with an ETF.

You still need to make sure you have a disciplined methodology in place to help you get into and out of the market. If you don't, you're gambling no matter what you invest in!

Indextrades.net feels the ETF's listed below have enough trading volume and track our system well, also giving you the diversification you need in your investments. It is up to each individual to decide the one he or she is most comfortable with, as some are more volatile than others.
