(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 23, 2009 ) The economic shake-up of 2008 continues to reveal strong trading opportunities in 2009, such as the potential short-term gain offered by the iShares S&P US Preferred Stock Index Fund (NYSE:PFF). The trading-analysis staff of Small Cap Network believes the exchange-traded fund is sharply oversold, and could lead to reasonable gains for traders looking for s short-term bullish trade.
The full trade explanation can be accessed at http://www.smallcapnetwork.com/scb/technical-trade-alert-ishares-sp-us-pref-stock-idx-fnd-etf-pff/2542/.
The economic uncertainty fostered fostered throughout the marketÂ’s implosion in 2008 has taken a toll on preferred stocks as drastically as it has on common stock shares. However, as with many common stocks, the perceived risks that drove many preferred stocks lower may have been overestimated. The bulk of companies that pay dividends via preferred shares are still willing and able to make dividend payments.
Constituents of the fund include preferred stocks of Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold (NYSE: FCX), Metlife (NYSE: MET), and Schering Plough (NYSE: SGP), each of which has remained profitable over the last four quarters while many other companies were sinking into unprofitable territory.
Even the fundÂ’s financial holdings like the preferred stocks of Citigroup (NYSE: C) and US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) are apt to benefit from most versions of the governmentÂ’s economic relief program. So, there may not a considerable amount of downside left relative to the potential upside for the fund.
The complete trading alert includes a chart, which clarifies why the previous trough-rebound pattern is likely to be repeated. The fact that the ETF is just now coming out of an oversold situation explains the timing of the selection.
