A New Format For The Blog

July 15th, 2009

Starting today, Play the Players will have a different look and purpose.

Before, the blog was intended to explain why our philosophy and approach was what it is. We sought to inform, educate, and provide big-picture perspective. We will continue to do that in a separate blog channel set apart for that purpose. It will see periodic entries.

But now our primary blog activity will focus on items of more immediate impact, where timely attention may help you fatten up the P side of your P&L. There may be more than one a week, possibly even more than one in a day particularly well endowed with opportunity.

We will continue to have a particular focus on how professional investors and their organizations utilize Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to manage their risk exposures.

That will often involve looking closely at the evolving activities in ETFs that are built to go up when the prices of their holdings go down (inverse, or short ETFs) and the use of ETFs that have the price movement accentuation of leverage as a part of their internal architecture.

On top of all that, our everyday updates of the price range prospects for actively-traded ETFs will continue to provide opportunity for comment as changes occur. And the market thermometers showing the coming-weeks’ price range potentials for the four major market indexes will be present each day.

If you want to be a player, instead of finding yourself played with, check in here regularly.
