Buyed this week before. European telephone companies have made lesser results because of the changed roaming rules in the EU. On the lesser European results, this ETF has fallen. However, this is the American Telecom ETF and it is not subject to EU rules. Some extra costs came during the hurricane season, but that we did know already.

Telecom companies' shares decline today and yesterday due to the fact that a large acquisition did not continue. Due to the low interest rates, however, acquisitions are possible. Telecom is, of course, a sector that remains. Margins are under pressure by the competition. Large investments in infrastructure are becoming less and costs are borne by more and more customers. This ETF is in a declining trend. It can last for a while, which will make it necessary to buy for a second time. From the bottom, a nice ride can be made again.

This retail ETF has not done well. With rising stock markets, more risky shares are preferred. Retail has also suffered from the internet in recent years. However, old retail companies are becoming increasingly successful on the internet. A good economy and high consumer confidence are always good for retail companies. Just 2 months before Christmas, I dare to buy this ETF. US retailers sell mostly in the Christmas season. Due to the better economy, the upcoming Christmas sales in the US can bring new records. A little patience will be needed with this ETF.
