What a wild month!
Things went so crazy at the end of September that it's already October 13th and I'm just getting to the September review. Our August Review (Part 2) was done on 9/22 but part one but Part 1 of August was completed on September 1st, when the market was at the low of this cycle. We called the August action almost perfectly and, out of 106 trade ideas for the month, 86 (81%) were winners – an incredible percentage I don't expect we repeated in crazy September.
We don't track our virtual portfolio trades in these reviews – this is for all the trades we don't track – which is most of them – as it simply wouldn't be practical to track every trade idea (which are highlighted daily in our Member Chat Room) we have for you at PSW! Of coruse, this is an arbitrary point in time and some trades could have had better (or worse) exits in between – we're not doing this to keep score, just to get an idea of what worked and what didn't in the past month so, hopefully, we can make better decisions this month.

Exchange-traded funds offer a convenient way to invest in sectors or niches that interest you. If you'd like to add some industrial stocks to your portfolio, the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEMKT: XLI ) could save you a lot of trouble. Instead of trying to figure out which companies will perform best, you can use this ETF to invest in lots of them simultaneously.
The basics
ETFs often sport lower expense ratios than their mutual fund cousins. The SPDR ETF's expense ratio -- its annual fee -- is a very low 0.18%, and it recently yielded about 2%.
This ETF has performed well, outstripping the world market over the past three, five, and 10 years. As with most investments, of course, we can't expect outstanding performances in every quarter or year. Investors with conviction need to wait for their holdings to deliver.
