New Vanguard Global Fund Beats Competitors on Price [view article]
Another option is to hold 40% in Vanguard Total U.S. and 60% in Total Int ex-U.S. funds. Gives you the same exposure as the World ETF for about .30% fee vs. .25% for the ETF. Some might prefer the convenience of the funds and avoiding brokerage fees for the ETFs ReplyEditors

Update: We've added Roger Nusbaum's short article "Explore More Core" ( seekingalpha.com/artic... ) to the Further Reading section.It's short, and asks more questions than it answers, but it touches on a crucial issue: Should you build a portfolio with an All World ETF as the core, supplemented by perhaps one other instrument?

Update: we just added Barclays' iShares MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index Fund ETF (ACWI) to the list. ReplySome Predictions for the Year of the Bear [view article]
The US is already in a major recession, Bernanke is in denial and Greenspan must take the blame for his horrendous decisions in keeping interest rates at record lows of 1% which laid the foundations for this whole sub-prime mess! With Japan and the UK also showing recession indicators, the biggest crash since 1929 and 1987 combined will be here in 2008!! Expect a global meltdown as asset values plummet, credit dries up, massive unemployment takes hold and companies across the world go bankrupt. Sell, sell, sell before as the world economy is doomed!!!Reply
The China Conundrum [view article]
Of the top 25 stocks held in CAF only one, Air China, is part of the China AH Shares Premium Index. I don't fault you for getting it wrong, the information on CAF holdings is hard to find but given the facts it is clearly meaningless to use the AH Index as a benchmark when talking about CAF. For a list of the CAF top 25 holdings as of 6/30/07 visit tinyurl.com/3alxr4 Reply
