Don Dion unveils his top five Dynamic Global ETF picks during video conference: IYM named

June 13, 2008 - PRLog -- In a recent video conference, Don Dion publisher of the family of Fidelity Independent Adviser Newsletters (http://www.fidelityadviser.com/),  and chief investment strategist of Dion Money Management (www.dionmm.com), named iShares Dow Jones US Basic Materials among his top picks for his Dynamic Global ETF Service.

Dion said his new service is for “aggressive investors” who are “looking for an active trading strategy” that they seek to consistently apply. Dion notes that this is the “first time I’ve packaged my investment approach in a systematic way, and made it available to my subscribers.” Dion includes IYM as a way for investors to benefit from a top performing sector in a difficult marketplace.

IYM heavily emphasizes the stocks of firms in the chemicals, industrial metals and mining industries, recent beneficiaries of a global commodities boom. In short, global growth—from economies to populations and increasing wealth in places such as China and India—fueled increased demand for commodities from fertilizer to gold while supply for many materials has been low. When prices rise, so do companies’ profit margins, balance sheets and stock prices.

Closer to home, the combination of a long bull market and long-developing uncertainty about the U.S. economy sent U.S. investors flocking to the sector, driving stock prices higher. There’s been some talk of sky-high valuations after such a run-up, which could result in a painful pullback during a global slowdown.

Dion believes that IYM has held up well in challenging economic times and has included IYM in other portfolio models. Dion added  IYM to his ETF Momentum Tracker Portfolio on Feb. 6, and last month the ETF provided an 11.74% return for investors. (http://store.fidelityadviser.com/fiinadetfmot.html)
