ETF Insider: Make Way For The Bulls
By Devon Layne | February 06, 2012

Related ETFs: FXA / EEM / ZROZ

A decline in the U.S. unemployment rate, and some level of restored faith in the eurozone, are together creating a bullish environment for ETFs, according to an article on ETF Database.

The overall bullishness created losses for some of the tactical defensive trades ETF Database recommended last week. The article described in detail three positions.

A short in the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (NYSEArca: EEM), which fell 3.6 percent
A long position in the Pimco 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury Index Fund (NYSEArca: ZROZ), which fell 4.8 percent
A short position in the CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust (NYSEArca: FXA), which lost 1.6 percent last week.
