ETF Monkey

It is certainly an interesting world that we live in. As some of my readers know, I am a contributor on the Seeking Alpha website. As such, I receive daily emails featuring the top articles being featured for the day. One of the titles in particular jumped out at me this morning. The title was: Did Trump Just Kill The Trump Trade? For whatever reason, it stopped me in my tracks, pondering the question of how many articles I have seen attempting to make more and more use of Trump's name in the title. Now, not all of them are attention-grabbing in nature. Some flow very naturally, like another one I recently came across: Trump's Comments Send The Dollar Reeling . OK, reasonable enough. But several others along the way have struck me as nothing more than blatant attempts to work Trump's name into the title.

Welcome to the index for the ETF Monkey Focus series of articles I have written for Seeking Alpha. First, here is a link to the introductory article for the series. In this article, I present helpful information concerning both the basic structure, as well as helpful common features, that I plan to put in each article. Here, in alphabetical article by symbol, are all ETFs on which I have at least commented to-date. Check back often, as new ETFs will be added as they are covered.

I was recently invited to participate in a report for ETFReference.com . The editorial team at ETF Reference surveyed 57 ETF investing experts in search of the best tips for exchange-traded-fund investors. In response to that survey, they received over 400 tips. The Top 101 ETF Investing Tips made it to the main report. There are also bonus sections for Recommended Sites and Twitter accounts, as well as Recommended Books. One of my tips also made it into the Recommended Books section. If you have a minute, take a look. I believe you will find this survey loaded with helpful information that could make a real difference for you. It was an honor to participate in this effort to increase the awareness of, and market interest in, exchange traded funds (ETFs).

May I ask a favor? My compensation both here on my blog as well as Seeking Alpha comes exclusively from page views and related advertising. Because of my fundamental belief that financial opportunity should be available to all, my goal is never to charge a fee for my work. Given that, my only hope of receiving reasonable compensation comes through followers and, ultimately, page views. With that in mind, if you feel my work is valuable, I would deeply appreciate it if you could take a minute to follow me on one or more of the social media sites linked in the sidebar. Alternatively, I would appreciate a link to my work on one of your social media channels. Having my work linked from other sites greatly increases the chances of my articles showing up on the various search engines. Thanks again for reading, and your support.
