In case you missed it, here’s a summary of the ETF topics and market reviews I posted to my blog during the week ending on 9/4/2011.
Despite the almost unchanged position of the S&P 500 after the past week, we ended the week on a sour note as a result of the horrific jobs report.
This goes along with my view that these wide market swings are far from being over, with more fallout from the jobs report likely to come. Additionally, the European debt crisis could worsen rapidly and affect the U.S. markets as well.
In any event, if you followed my sell stops rules, you should not have any equity exposure at this time with the possible exception of a couple of sector/country ETFs, or hedged positions.
This week, we covered the following:

Oral,
That depends on the fund. If they are trending up, you can hold them subject tot my recommended sell stop discipline.
