TickerMine Brings Stock Selection Back into Focus
There is an interesting blurb on a marketwatch blog here. The blog highlights three retail ETF’s and the earnings results of some of its components. The key point was Sears got killed while some other names are doing good. The net result is a middling performance for the ETF versus the strong names in the sector. The ETF’s were up today about 1%-1.5%. Good names, like LULU on our post below, and others like JAS were up 3%+ today.
ETF’s are attractive because investors have given up and say “I can’t” pick individual companies, maybe I can pick sectors.” The problem with picking sectors is that in normal markets where the whole market is not simply straight up or down you need to identify specific names. TickerMine’s data helps investors do that.
We see the ETF craze tapping our fairly soon as this fact begins to dawn on folks that those who use real data (e.g. TickerMine) get good performance and those who use sector ETF’s simply own all the good and bad stocks in a sector.
