    So what? fear begets fear.

    I think you will be happy to note that this is my final comment on an article of yours. The comments of others are the only worthwhile aspect.

    Finding Your Comfort Zone with Currency Investing [view article]
    Hi, Les,
    I am not aware of much research on currency ETFs. They are probably too new to attract much attention from analysts. However, even if they were I would be skeptical of their opinions. I'm equally skeptical of my own. No one can do much of a reliable prediction in this type of market, in my opinion. Things can turn on a dime at the slightest quiver of a wind from any direction.

    I have read a book on trading currencies, and I thought it was fairly good. Remember, all we have are opinions, and currency trading (vs. investing) is not necessairly a teachable subject. The book I read is : Getting Started in Currency Trading by Michael Duane Archer. It is probably out of print, but I found a copy at Amazon. Also, there are a couple of authors who contribute to Seeking Alpha. Chen and Lieu (if my spelling is correct) are two you might check on.

    I would encourage you to approach this subject with the greatest caution, and consider, instead, currency investing--something like the carry trade. Trading is fast paced and will eat you up fast if you are not exceptionally able to cope with it. Few are!

    Good luck.

    Ray: Is there any good, reliable, non-biased research available (at a reasonable cost) for currency EFT's. I'm a novice and have been unsuccessful in my limited amout of trading experience, but would like to learn.

    I haven't been following CNY, since I detest most ETNs, and your report reaffirms my view on this instrument. I believe CYN is one of the ETNs that doesn't pay dividends, so the interest income, if any (and the Chinese Yuan is the last place I would go to earn interest) you will see only to the extent their forward contracts include any such accumulation. Apparently they are not. The reason for this, I believe, is that China pays less than 1% on their foreign deposits, so that precludes leaving any money there. But, even worse,the yuan is mostly traded through forward contracts which the providers "hope" will include some interest earnings. But, you can't prove that by me--especially with most ETNs.

    Also, even Wisdom Tree, whose yuan fund I like more than Van Eck's, only pays dividends on an annual basis--if I recall this correctly. China is not a good place to play the carry trade.

    I thank you for your post. Our readers need to know how these differences will affect them and their investments.

    Best wishes,

    Ray

    For ETFs the providers list their assets under management on a daily basis. For ETNs they list the indicative value, which is the last price per share times the number of shares outstanding.

    Best wishes,

    Ray

    I'm curious as to how you got the asset amounts for the tables above. Since these are ETFs, can one take the current Market Cap as total assets? Reply

    Hey Roger Nusbaum fans,

    Here's a link to an Roger Nusbuam interview with Chip Hanlon on greenfaucet.

    They discuss the market and why Nusbaum thinks there could more downside for stocks to come.
