MasterDATA
currently compiles historical composite breadth
data on ETFs meeting the following criteria:
|
|
► |
MasterDATA reviews
the list of U.S. Stocks ETFs quarterly for changes
in the top 111 trade volume ETFs. Adjustments
to the Compilation List will be made when such
changes are identified and the following criteria
is met.
|
|
► |
All constituent issues must
be listed on the NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ exchanges.
Issues may additionally trade on any other exchange(s).
|
|
► |
All constituent issues must
be stocks. Those ETFs based on the price
of a specific commodity (gold, oil, interest
rates etc.) or those containing debt instruments
(government bonds, corporate bonds etc.) will
be excluded at the present time (ProShares,
Direxion and
some Rydex ETFs are exceptions - See below).
|
|
► |
The ETF sponsor must provide
a readily accessible, up-to-date constituent
list including ticker symbols for each issue.
|
|
► |
Of the ETFs meeting the above
criteria, only ETFs ranking in the top 111 ETFs
as measured by average daily trading volume
will be included. These qualifying ETFs
will be added the first weekend of each
quarter.

Vanguard
continues making it difficult, and often impossible, to obtain
current constituent lists for their ETFs. In the worst
cases, they recently stopped supplying a current list at
all. For the time being, we will continue to
include Vanguard ETFs in the MasterDATA Compilation
List. |
|
|
|
Editorial Note:
Vanguard is the only ETF sponsor that refuses to provide
current constituent lists to investors. The effect is to make the playing field
biased in favor of certain large investor types (willing
to pay for the lists) at the
expense of the majority of investors. In today's
world, this is simply wrong. More than ever, the
playing field must be level. If you agree, please
let Vanguard know your opinion, by

ProShares,
Direxion
and some Rydex ETFs are a "leveraged" and/or "reciprocal"
version of several widely followed stock indexes such as
the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S & P 500 Index, NASDAQ
100 Index and Russell 2000 Index. Their structure
often requires the use of futures contracts and / or Swaps,
neither of which qualify under MasterDATA's qualification
criteria. Performance of the ProShares, however, generally
achieves their stated objective and makes these ETFs very
attractive to investors and traders capable of incurring
the higher risk in these funds. For that reason, we
include ProShares qualifying as ranked by trading volume.
composite breadth data for the underlying index is included
in the historical datafiles for these ETFs along with the
actual trade prices and volume of the ProShares or Rydex
ETF itself.
