ETFs may not be suitable for all investors. Some of the ones used in the Trader Fred ETF system are ETFs that go inverse to index the ETF is based on. Some of the ETFs are multiples of the underlying securities and derivatives. These inverse ETFs and multiple ETFs clearly have significantly greater investment risks including but not limited to increased volatility due to short sales of the underlying securities and derivatives. The ETF’s use of futures, options and swap agreements clearly expose you to significant additional investment risks you would not experience if you had invested instead directly in the underlying securities. ETFs and especially inverse ETFs and ETF multipliers are subject to (1) active trading; (2) tracking error risks; (3) increased volatility;(4) reduction in investment objective success and finally (5) decreased performance of the underlying securities and derivatives. ETFs are (1) not deposits; (2) are not bank obligations; (3) have no bank guarantees and finally (4) are not insured by the FDIC or similar agencies.

There are no assurances any ETF will achieve its objectives and/or strategy.
