Please ignore Ivy League, the spammer with many different names. Why people bother doing these things is hard to understand other than severe mental illness.

INP is under restriction, last I checked, from issuing new shares. Therefore, even institutions can't short it if they wish since new shares can't be issued.
As to what's going on specifically with IFN it's just at a really high altitude and moves around in large chunks. The premium is high and caused by the very sharp run-up in that market post the recent election.
As time passes I may shift to other ETFs but for now I'll stick with IFN as the government makes ETF/ETN and closed-end funds the same in some respects given share issuance restrictions.

Abe, thanks for you kind words.
You make good points regarding Congress. Term limits would help greatly as most members of the senate for example seem to stay until they're carried out in a stretcher. Look at the money most make post their so-called service. Daschle was a good recent example although certainly not alone. With the election cycle for incumbents they want to deliver "quick fixes" consistently rather than long-term solutions. Perhaps term limits aren't the only answer, but it's sure a start.
The toothpaste is out of the tube regarding Glass-Steagall. We really have Sandy Weill to thank for its demise. I'm not against its repeal just that regulators weren't prepared and ready to monitor the consequences in the aftermath of the new order.

Macro Man: If you can short the ETF then okay. If you're going to use FXP either as a day trader or strategically over a short period (one-three weeks) then use it.
I'll try it this way, but it doesn't seem to post. Since it won't post you might go to their website and look for this interview on their site via Investors Business Daily.
I did speak with them and have passed your email to them for a response. Most of their people have taken off for the holiday and I expect a response next week. I can't guarantee they will satisfy your inquiry.
As you know we spent most of our time with them on tracking issues and posted a table on Tuesday I believe.

Just kidding. I think the 22 period should offer support on a weekly closing basis for RIMM.
