Group G: US market sector ETF's

There are very nice opportunities in trading US market sector ETF’s. Trading from countries in Europe is relatively easy to do as the New York Stock Exchange is open during our evening hours.

So you will be able to trade during the US action hours. Of course the Dollar/Euro exchange rate is one to follow closely as it impacts your return.

You can partly solve this exchange problem by not swapping to Euro’s every time you close a deal but instead leaving the Dollars on a separate Dollar account. Here I will discuss the most important US market sector ETF’s.
