Generally, ETFs combine features of a mutual fund, which can be purchased or redeemed at the end of each trading day at its NAV per share, with the intraday trading feature of a closed-end fund, whose shares trade throughout the trading day at market prices...

IBD says to buy when it's within 5% over the handle buypoint, but I'm waiting also for a solid market uptrend.
Told you all CAT was a screaming buy anywhere below 80.
LOL, “ a gret big ole TOLDJASO “
Good morning, happy Friday to ya, and the UPTREND RESUMES! Seems our chronically sideways stock market has finally seeped up into a new high forcing us to admit that we've been clearly in an uptrend. For decades this has historically it signaled a buying opportunity, though for all of this past year they've been false and contrary market timing's ruled. Humph.
Just the same, these sideways/false-sigs are still uptrending (futures +0.17%), not like metals that have been sideways/downtrending: gold'n'silver now @ $1,193.4 and $15.92 w/ futures negative. Durable goods orders posted in a half hour.

Have We Seen the End of 8-Hour Work Day? - Nathan Schneider, Nation
Saudi Arabia Intends to Pump Even More Crude - Grant Smith, Bloomberg
-——Involuntary part-time is becoming the new norm for low-wage workers-——
The concept of part time is archaic. There is no part time any more, there is only time. Further, time for many can not exceed thirty hours per week. The union goal of a thirty hour week has been accomplished.
The problem is that people can’t live on the proceeds from merely working thirty hours.
Through out this whole history of labor leaders calling for a shorter workday, somehow the union bosses always assumed that the paycheck would stay big while work hours got small. They never saw a problem w/ that and were always dismissive of concerns over production and business' labor costs.
Ignore reality and it bites.
I don't think they really gave a rat's ass about the paychecks. They were assuming the union dues would stay the same, and the companies would have to hire more workers, so there'd be more of them.
