Screening for Trends

Cetin: "These stocks tend to go up all the time,...".

Do We Need Bond Sector ETFs?

I agree we need more bond ETFs. The blue chip long-term bond ETF, symbol LQD is great, but what about an intermediate-term version of this bond?
This is an ideal time for introducing more of a selection of bond ETFs. The real yields are very attractive, inflation is not a problem (at least not for many months if not a couple of years), and equities at this point are highly unstable.
In the municipal area, I believe there is also only long-term ETFs. Again, we need intermediate term muni ETFs also.
