"David Fry writes a subscription newsletter focused on technical analyis of exchange-traded funds, called ETF Digest. We particularly like the overview of financial markets that his work provides. Even if you're not a fan of chart analysis, Dave provides insight and commentary into which global markets are "working" and why. You can find his charts and commentary on ETF Investor, the US Market Blog, and many of our sector blogs such as the Gold Stock Blog and Energy Stock Blog."

"I've been sipping David Fry's KoolAid for over three years now, and damn if it's not better than my own witch's brew. His disciplined approach may keep you out of much of the market some of the time, but hindsight usually shows that it's been a good time not to be in the market. I've eventually regretted virtually every trade I've over-ridden. ETF Digest is like a low-risk hedge fund, and if capital preservation is at least part of your game it's a great place for your money."
Dave's new book, "Create Your Own ETF Hedge Fund" now available on Amazon.com.

Dave's Daily - Tuesday May 6, 2008
MARKET COMMENT
May 6, 2008
Do not pay any attention to bad news. That’s the message today. Bulls ignored record oil prices and crummy news [a dividend cut and wider loss] from FNM. Instead they chose to believe that FNM’s position going forward was strong and they would “feast on” market chaos from new products and, of course, the worst conditions were behind them.
I don’t know if senior management at any of these companies has any credibility left including and especially rating agencies. The latter are part of the game being played and we’re just shills. But, let’s give credit to the tape action and that CSCO and DIS beat estimates after the close. The major take here is how, if the economy is in recession, can DIS of all companies be doing well? It seems an earlier on the calendar Easter holiday period and foreign visitors helped as parks were crowded despite gas prices and other difficulties facing consumers. In fact, earnings warnings have been modest if we’re falling into, or already in, recession.
The volume and breadth are still unimpressive overall but better than expected earnings news tonight could carry over to tomorrow possibly.
