Tech ETFs to Buy Now: First Trust Cloud Computing Index Fund (SKYY)
YTD Return: 8%
Expense Ratio: 0.6%

Cloud computing has become an essential component of how we access content, store data and interact with web-based services, and there are more than a handful of companies eagerly vying for a sliver of that ever-growing pie.

Well, you can own a piece of that pie with the SKYY ETF.

With a diverse portfolio of 38 stocks, the SKYY ETF invests in companies “engaged in a business activity supporting or utilizing the cloud computing space,” and the stock needs a market cap above $100 million.

Admittedly, this liberal application of cloud computing allows for stocks like Netflix (NFLX) and Zynga (ZNGA) to sneak their way into its ranks, but there are more than enough legit players in the field to make this a solid play on the future of the cloud.

You know what they say: “Perfect is the enemy of the good.” And with the global cloud computing market projected to be worth $270 billion by 2020, it’s best not to scrutinize the SKYY ETF too closely.

With stocks like Salesforce (CRM), Red Hat (RHT), Rackspace (RHT) and Intuit (INTU) under its umbrella, SKYY shouldn’t have trouble capitalizing on this rapidly growing market.

VMWare is expected to reverse acquire their parent company EMC.

With that acquisition, surely it will be less attractive.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

Why you should care about the cloud

by JP Mangalindan

85% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft’s Azure cloud service, and the company adds 120,000 new Azure subscriptions a month.


The worldwide cloud services market is projected to grow nearly 17% in 2016 to a total of $204 billion, according to Gartner.

More than $1 trillion in IT spending will involve cloud computing services during the next five years.

4 Tech Stocks That Are Killing It in Cloud Computing

These four tech stocks are poised to thrive as the cloud industry develops

By Laura Hoy

The cloud-computing space is one that investors should be watching closely.

Over the last decade, the shift from physical data centers to keeping everything in the cloud has been monumental and every big-name tech firm out there has their hat in the ring.

That being said, not all cloud computing services are created equal and traders should take a hard look at what each company has to offer before blindly throwing money at any of the cloud stocks out there.

While a few big names have emerged as cloud computing leaders over the last few years, the industry’s relative newness means that there is still a lot of room for growth.

This is a Big Opportunity for Investors

By Matthew Carr

CyrusOne (Nasdaq: CONE) and Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR) are server farm companies. They lease digital space to customers, which allows them to operate as real estate investment trusts.

Because of that, they both offer dividend yields north of 3.5%.


On the other side of the massive data surge? How businesses actually use that data. That’s where a company like Box (NYSE: BOX) comes in.

It’s a file-synchronization provider. Box offers some built-in security, which is big in the digital world. But its bread and butter is giving companies a way to share and collaborate on documents.
