  • Interactive Q&A: Jeffrey L. Feldman, Creator of HealthShares and Founder and Chairman of XShares Group LLC [View article]
    Does this mean the HealthShares ETFs are not market cap weighted? And couldn't you achieve the result you're looking for with a sector ETF covering all of pharma and biotech, but equal weighted?

  • AMD Issues Revenue Warning; Restructuring Looms [View article]
    Seagate missed this morning, and the stock is down 11%. Sounds like something market-wide, no?

    Jeff, thanks for answering questions.

    Would you talk about the expense ratios of your ETFs versus others, and also the tax efficiency, trading costs and buy-sell spreads?

    Cheers,
    DJ

    Many thanks for doing this Q&A, Jeff.

    The carbon emission credits ETF sounds interesting. Can you provide more information about it: what kind of structure will it have, when do you expect it to launch, and who do you think it will be used by and for what purposes?

    Hard to see how the unit sales miss won't also impact HPQ and MSFT.

    Dajdaonkar,

    Some web-based email services were delaying the delivery of our emails, but we hope that's now solved. Full article emails are sent about 20 minutes after the article publication, and the daily headlines-only email goes out at about 8 am every morning.

  • What Readers Say About Seeking Alpha [View article]
    jturano,
    We try to publish a range of views on stocks, and *never* include or exclude articles because we agree or disagree with the view on the stock, only on the quality of the argument. So we'll often publish two articles that reach different conclusions on the same stock. Cramer is smart and is watched by many institutional investors, so we think his stock picks are a valuable resource for us to offer on SA.

  • Leveraged ETFs: A Value Destruction Trap? [View article]
    Surely if you buy the leveraged short ETF then you'll get caught in the constant leverage trap that you describe. So it's better to short the leveraged long ETF, no? That way the constant leverage trap works in your favor.

    This was a temporary glitch which should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Jake,

    The premarket snapshot is part of Wall Street Breakfast, becuase it includes summaries of breaking news stories. So if you want to unsubscribe, you need to unsubscribe from Wall Street Breakfast.

  • Leveraged ETFs: A Value Destruction Trap? [View article]
    Fascinating. Question for you, Tristan: If an investor is looking for a bearish strategy, expecting an impending downturn in the market, which is better: shorting a leveraged Rydex ETF, buying a Rydex leveraged short ETF ("UltraShort"), or shorting a simple ETF?

  • Apple's A Short In Light Of Sales Data [View article]
    To the previous commenters on this article (Tommo UK, East Coast, Malkiel, David Lenz),

    We'd like to remind you of the ground rules for commenting on Seeking Alpha: discuss the article and criticise it, but please <b>don't insult or criticise the author or other commenters</b>. Criticise ideas, not people.

    There's a good reason for this. The comments on Seeking Alpha add huge value due to the intelligence and efforts of you and the other commenters. If we let emotions drag comments to the level of insults, Seeking Alpha will become like a certain well-known message board that is dominated by mud-slinging.

    We care enough about this to enforce this policy by suspending comment rights of offenders.

    Best,
    The SA Editors
