How can I use exchange-traded funds in my investing?
Exchange-traded funds are powerful investing tools. They let you exactly target money in an asset class, like gold bullion, or even a sub-class, such as agricultural commodities. With more than 1,100 available, ETFs go far beyond mutual funds in providing this kind of access. Their greater power is that they can enable you to amplify your bet through leverage, or borrowing. ETFs like the Ultra S&P 500 ProShares ETF (ticker: SSO) give you two times the returns of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The UltraShort S&P 500 ProShares ETF (ticker: SDS) gives you two times the inverse. Pick your exact flavor, in far more than Heinz’s 57 varieties.Return to Questions
