Turn over any rock these days, and you'll find Tom Lydon of ETF Trends (click here at [...] ) extolling the virtues of exchange traded funds (ETF's) and exchange traded notes (ETN's). So I thought it would be timely to read his book on the subject, The ETF Trend Following Playbook. Tom launches into a detailed explanation of these versatile new instruments, including the minutia on issuance, clearing, settlement, and even which end to hold up. He offers a simple trend following system that enables ... Read More

So glad I read this book. The author explains the strategy in a language I can understand. This book gave me a solid plan that makes sense and eliminates the guess work. I'm ready to put what I've learned into practice!

Thus book is really not much more than a brief introduction to the field of ETFs. As for the "trend following" in the title, readers interested in the technique will be sorely disappointed. The only recommendation is to buy when an ETF trades above the 200-day exponential moving average and sell when it falls below it. That's it. Seriously. Add to that the frequent plugs of the author's website and you really have to wonder why anyone would bother to put out a book like this and seriously claim to ... Read More

The book failed to deliver on ETF trend-following. Other than the constant repetition of the value of using the 200-day EMA, the book offered few other ideas on following ETF trends or sector rotation. The book did a good job of reviewing the relatively new and expanding world of ETF investing, but did not serve as a playbook at all for a serious ETF investor trying to find other than subjective ideas for moving in and out of ETF trades. In spite of all the hype, it left this ETF investor with that ... Read More

Good book as an introduction to ETFs and the concepts of trend-following. However, as a "Play Book", it is really very limited indeed. The author's rules of trend following cover LESS THAN ONE PAGE. The rest of the book covers what ETFs are and the different types available. All of this information is available for free elsewhere, including the author's own website, and the Seeking Alpha website. I thought of giving the book one star but it is a good introductory book for those who want to know what an ... Read More
