This week marks the start of fourth-quarter earnings season and while only a few marquee names are due to report this week, three Dow names to be exact, it never hurts to do a little advanced planning and scope out some ETFs that may move on the back of these profit reports.
For Alcoa (NYSE:
AA) today after the bell:
The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (NYSE:
XME) would be the conservative play as Alcoa gets just over 4% of XME's weight, but the ambitious trader could give the newly minted Global X Aluminum ETF (NYSE:
ALUM) a whirl. A good leveraged bet would be the ProShares Ultra Industrials (NYSE:
UXI).
For Intel (Nasdaq:
INTC) Thursday after the close, run with the Semiconductor HOLDRs (AMEX:
SMH), which allocates more than 20% of its weight to Intel. If Intel blows out as it has in recent quarters, go big with the Direxion Daily Semicondct Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:
SOXL).
For JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:
JPM) Friday before the open: Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:
XLF), iShares Dow Jones US Financial Sector ETF (NYSE:
IYF) and the Vanguard Financials ETF (NYSE:
VFH).
