High Yield ETF's My approach is probably different than many others. I position a basket of high yield ETF's looking for a yield above 10%. I hold the performers and sell the underperformers. I have a tollerance for holding issues that may be down but never hold below 10% loss. My current portfolio has three small losers with a loss of less than the one year div return. Overall the group has a gain of more than 17% not counting dividends. I use the same approach in small stocks with a 9/18/06 portfolio of 10 small stocks that has been pared to four. The six I sold made a small gain but underperformed the others. The ones left are as follows: EGHT +58.65, FTEK +101.64%, GTI +20.93%, SIGM +76.23 I use this approach rather than a lot of analysis partly because I don't like reading reports and as it turns out they aren't accurate anyway. I also use P&F charts that give a simple picture of supply and demand. Best, Cosmo
