Here Are the Top Performing, Non Levered, Non Inverse, ETF’s– Year to Date

The inverse genre of the ETF world are ripping jaws off bulls and face kicking them to the moon. But most FINRA regulated advisors are clown’d by being banned from buying and selling these products–unless clients send a letter in telling them to buy them. It’s wholly retarded, one of the many instances in life where a small, but loud, minority of morons ruin a good thing for everyone else. In other words, back in 2009, when the market took off, idiot brokers and advisors kept clients in these short term products and rode them down 99.9999%–which forced FINRA to move against these time bombs–removing a very vital hedging product from responsible managers.

So, I’m removing them from this screen and giving you the best performing, non levered-inverse, ETFs for 2016.

HDGE +13.3% (bear strategy, non-levered)

ZROZ +7.6% (zero gov’t bonds)

EDV +6.9% (gov’t bonds)

BBN +5.2% (taxable munis)

TLT +4.35% (gov’t bonds)

IAU +4.1% (gold trust)

GLD +3.96% (gold)

PHYS +3.55% (physical gold)

FXY +2.2% (yen)

CORN +2.1% (corn)

SOYB +1.1% (soybeans)
