Dorsey Wright Client Sentiment Survey - 9/14/12

September 14, 2012

Here we have the next round of the Dorsey, Wright Sentiment Survey, the first third-party sentiment poll. Participate to learn more about our Dorsey, Wright Polo Shirt raffle! Just follow the instructions after taking the poll, and we’ll enter you in the contest. Thanks to all our participants from last round.

As you know, when individuals self-report, they are always taller and more beautiful than when outside observers report their perceptions! Instead of asking individual investors to self-report whether they are bullish or bearish, we’d like financial advisors to weigh in and report on the actual behavior of clients. It’s two simple questions and will take no more than 20 seconds of your time. We’ll construct indicators from the data and report the results regularly on our blog–but we need your help to get a large statistical sample!

Click here to take Dorsey, Wright’s Client Sentiment Survey.

Contribute to the greater good! It’s painless, we promise.

Technical Leaders in the News

September 14, 2012

Stoyan Bojinov of ETFdb on the PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders ETFs (PDP, PIE, PIZ, DWAS):

Countless investors have embraced ETFs in their portfolios thanks to the cost-efficient and easy-to-use nature of these financial instruments. Aside from serving as excellent core building blocks in long-term and retirement-themed portfolios, ETFs have also gained popularity among investors seeking out tactical exposure. One particular breed of products from industry veteran PowerShares has continued to slip under the radar for many, although a closer look under the hood reveals some attractive opportunities.

Invesco PowerShares offers a suite of “Technical Leaders” ETFs which target a number of popular asset classes with a twist; these products employ a proprietary methodology that allows them to sort through thousands of securities and narrow down their basket of holdings to only the ones which satisfy certain criteria. The result is a shallower portfolio that is deemed to hold only the strongest components from each respective universe based on relative performance measures.
