Summary: Vomund Offers Practical, Tested ETF Investment Strategies
Comment: I read this book with great interest. It offers what other publications covering ETF Style and Sector investing have missed -a practical, direct approach to successfully IMPLEMENTING tested investment strategies.
I especially appreciate the timely supporting data the author, David Vomund, offers on his website www.etftradingstrategies.com, at the two tabs labeled Analysis and Strategies. That weekly-updated information, along with the book, help me understand and accurately execute the recommended trading strategies. It's really not any more complicated than that. I'm committed to adopting two of the strategies and excited to begin trading soon.
I also want to offer my thanks to the 16 reviewers before me who have shared thoughtful comments about this book and the author. Were it not for you, I may never have noticed or purchased David's book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not much substance
Comment: On the background of some simple strategies, the book appears to concentrate on promoting its website resources. There is no "Aha" strategy here.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Rotation strategies
Comment: The book's title is a little misleading. There's only one strategy that's "revealed" here, that of style rotation -- here style can mean "market cap groups" or "sectors," etc. The book is really slim, totaling about 90 pages, of which only 30 are truly useful. The other 60 pages are just fluff. The ETF introduction chapter is ridiculously light on details; it contains gems such as "you can't tell liquidity from trading volumes" -- okay, what should we be looking for, then? There's a chapter with an interivew with Linda Raschke and another on charting written by Steve Palmquist; neither chapter contributes anything at all to the rotation strategies discussed in part 3 of the book. The book concludes with a brief discussion of trading plan by some "doctor."
So, you'll buy the book only for the 30 or so pages on rotation strategies. Actually, it's one strategy with a few variations. The author shows you backtesting results using index data and then ETF data (the latter covers a much shorter period, usually only from 2002 on). I do like the fact that in at least one of the tests he didn't forget to include transaction cost. The strategies are simple and may work if followed religiously. The author discusses a few ways of building on top of the basic principles. For me, these 30 pages are worth the (Amazon) price of the book, although similar information can be found, for free, on the web.
Customer Rating:
Summary: solid
Comment: As previous reviews have stated, this book is very simply written and brief, which is great. Mr. Vomund knows how to communicate to the reader without being ambiguous and makes sure that everything is stated such that no pertinant detail is missed (as with the case with most books discussing strategies). I have corresponded frequently with the author via email and have found him to be both personable and intelligent. I recommend this book to anyone desirous of educating themselves on the subject of the growing phenomenon, ETF's.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Short and Sweet
Comment: I am a market participant that has been successful using various "Active" strategies.
What I really like about ETF Trading Strategies Revealed is that it is not filled with "extras" to make it larger and harder to get to the meat of the issue. There is a sharing of a good workable active strategies that warrant consideration for at least a portion of your portfolio.
There is a background presented briefly and some strategies that are tradable just as they are written. If you are new to any kind of active portfolio management, you can trade this system and most likely improve your returns at less risk or drawdown.
If you have experience in this arena, it is a good basis to test and refine for even better risk adjusted returns.
All of this without having to wade through hundreds of pages of filler.
Highly recommended
