First Trust NASDAQ price decrease over the last few months could raise concerns from investors as the entity closed today at a share price of 30.65 on 516 in volume. The fund administrators were not very successful in positioning the entity components to exploit market volatility in July. However, diversifying your holdings with First Trust NASDAQ Global Auto or similar etfs can still protect your portfolio during high-volatility market scenarios. The etf standard deviation of daily returns for 30 days (very short) investing horizon is currently 0.9752. The very small Etf volatility is a good signal to investors with longer term investment horizons. First Trust defends 18.2m net asset. First Trust is selling for under 30.65. That is 0.16 percent decrease. Today lowest is 30.65.
All in all, I belive First Trust is currently fairly valued. It Slowly supersedes market and projects below average chance of financial distress in the next two years. Our actual buy or sell advice on the ETF is Strong Hold.
