This is a list of ETFs I’ve researched and found to meet my criteria for tradeable Day and Swing Trading Options candidates as an example of what to look for in an efficient market. Some of the ETFs are listed for coverage of specific markets or to maintain a group of related markets (the S&P500, for example); so, always check the Bid/Ask Spread before setting up your trade.
It’s a good list to limit your universe and give you a chance to learn something about each ETF.
The list, though, is as good as how you use it. Your Wealth Building Plan will dictate what Methods you use, and, by extension, what ETFs and their Options will fit into your Plan. What you’ve learned about trading will give you the expertise to know how to Day Trade or Swing Trade the right ETF Options.
If you’re new to trading and you’d like to take control of your financial future, have a look at You Really Can Manage Your Own Money and The Diversified Trader – An Overview to get started on the right track. If you’re already in the loop, you can jump right in and start Trading your Plan.
Again, this is an effort to reduce clutter and allow you to focus your effort where it counts in the forever fluctuating markets. It also lets you use high volume Options where it makes sense. You’ll find leveraged ETFs and inverse ETFs to give you a range of choices to cover most market conditions. The ETFs are sorted by the 90 Day Average Option Volume (High to Low). Enjoy.

Thanks for taking a look and for your kind comments. About being too brief: the article is there to provide information for people to use in whatever venue they’re using, which are too varied to cover in the article. I was hoping the rest of my website would provide a direction for people who are concerned about their wealth. I’m in the process of expanding the scope of my website, so stay tuned for more information about building your wealth.
