Best ETFs Ranking

Here are a set of ETFs that are relatively diversified that have several years of trading and decent liquidity.

The ranking factor takes into account recent price changes (over approximately the last 2 months) but also factors in the recent volatility of the funds.

Our strategy that has historically worked well is to buy the top 2 funds, hold them for at least a mo, and trade again to the highest ranked funds. When the ETFs don’t rank as well as the money market funds we switch to cash.

We have been tracking this portfolio in real time since August 2009, but it uses almost exactly the same ranking algorithm as our Fidelity Select system, which has been real time since 2002.

Past performance not necessarily indicative of future performance. The stock market is inherently risky, and investors following these strategies or other timing strategies can lose money in the stock market. The information provided is gathered from sources believed to be reliable, but no representation is made as to the accuracy of any data presented.

The ranking score is NOT the recent price change, but is based on volatility as well.
