New Name, New Features… ETF TrendTracker
Friday, August 15th, 2008Canadian ETF Review has now become ETF TrendTracker. The new name signals our intent to provide broader coverage of global ETFs (unlike our original focus… the Canadian ETF market). The new name also provides a reminder that we’re applying our unique relative trend analysis™ (RTA) methodology with ETF equities, just as we do at our original site… TSX TrendWatch, and with our other spin-off… Income Trust Trader.
As before we’ll try to be exhaustive with regard to Canadian ETFs, but more selective when it comes to finding interesting opportunities among US and other international ETFs. Those requiring more have the option of subscribing to our Premium Service ETF database of over 500 global ETFs, complete with trend and consistency values based on 10, 20 and 40 week moving averages. Other features and fields are being added regularly to accomodate the needs of “power ETF investors” who have the spreadsheet skills or technical analysis software to appreciate what we have to offer.
Look for more data and charts in our DATA & CHARTS workbook over the coming weeks too. Our Canadian and country ETF charts and data will remain there, and you can expect coverage of high liquidity US index funds very soon too.
An educational video page is in the works, and since there are so many excellent sources of ETF information available on the net, we’ll be building up our Links page. We know that what we have to offer here is quite unique, so we don’t consider any the the excellent web sites we’ll be adding to our list competitors in any way.
One unfortunate negative consequence of our upgrade, is that we’ve shifted to new blogging software to put out these updates. Our previous software provider has gone out of business, so we’d rather be using software that will be supported as required. Transferring our archives from the previous system is largely a cut-and-paste exercise, so we’ll likely just bring across those previous entries that still have educational value.
The bottom line is that we hope you’ll appreciate the changes that are happening now and in the near future. Feel free to send us feedback at any time… feedback@ProfiTrend.com.
