    Interrelation of Asset Classes: A Few Market Themes [view article]
    One of the difficulties in trading based on correlations between asset classes is that the correlations are not stable over time. In fact, the coupling can often reverse quite dramatically. There is a website, assetcorrelation.com, which illustrates this point quite nicely. Times of panic often result in periods of far stronger correlation. See H1 2008 for details. Reply

    Bloomberg also offers a more comprehensive (and disinterested) listing of ETFs. Reply

    Are there specific families of ETFs you are promoting? If so, disclosure is needed. If not, disclosure is also needed. Why should I read you when Barron's and WSJ offer a more comprehensive listing? Reply

    25 ETFs That Actually Are Making Money [view article]
    And with ETFs these days you don't get much . . . You could have saved us a lot of time if in the opening sentence (the only sentence!) you had said, "Don't bother with ETFs!" Reply

    I think baller miss understood Jim Wiandt's point re ETF fees. By comparison with mutual fund fees, all the leading ETFs are cheaper. His point is that the fees of leading ETFs were higher than under performing ETFs. Well, you get what you pay for (sometimes). Reply

    25 ETFs That Actually Are Making Money [view article]
    At last, someone has stepped up to the plate and admitted to the qudmire this market has been since Otober. The combination of only shorting or playing commodities ( which have trapped many with the sudden downturn (steel)) combined with the high fees these ETFs charge have driven many of us to the sidelines scratching our head or trying to daytrade (gasp)!
    Where are the foreign markets that are supposed to be decoupled from the US market and provide us some returns(adequate) while we are in a downturn?
    Or where is the defensive sector of our US market that should provide a similiar relief.
    Thanks for a good article that shows the true picture.

    Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets [view article]
    Mr. Gabe Borenstein, I agree completely with your outlooks. Might I add that If one considers the fact that GOV and GSE shareholders are partners in the GSEs with the GSE's primary mission of providing market liquidity under GOV guidlines to be a form of equity that the GOV and hence the taxpayers benefit from while the GSE shareholders equity in comparison equates to a monopoly and profits realized when providing liquidity under GOV guidleines is profitable. It is quite simple to realize that with GOV and GSE being partners and 'owners' of the equity that it is about as impossible for the GOV to bailout the GOV and wipeout the equity as it is iompossible for the shareholders to lose monies by maintaining the equities they already have... This fear campaign has been nothing more that an attempted mugging of the GSEs by the greedy shorting crews who habe thier eye on the prize of BOTH form of the equities... Reply

    thats what america has become.not making things so that there is a useful end product but trading paper to make a living.how long can a country survive doing this silly stuff?i think its beginning to show as hundreds of paper shufflers are let go.as far as day traders are concerned their ranks may shrink as no one can tell what will happen or the value of the trades.

    It is about time we shed the light on the FRE and the FNM. First of all it is important to comprehend that both agencies have reserves way above the minimum.Their "default" rate on the mortgages is less than 1%-much more impressive than most of the banking insitutions.The bailout issue is predicated on Armageddon like financial calamity ,merits of which appear to be disseminated by the record "shorts" in the financial sector.The facts are that the issues which should have been addressed at least year ago ,are being addressed by the FED,the Treasury ,the Congress and the Administration quite competently now,while the mega shorts are tryng to negate the success of the measures applied to rectify the "financial " issues.As the U.S economy gains momentum in the period ahead ,all of the negative financial fiction will dissappear.
    Now let us address the key issue of the taxpayers responsibility vs the FRE and the FNM fictitious need of the rescue package.
    The FRE and the FNM were created by the act of Congress to provide competive financing (mortgages) to the average American taxpayer.
    Thse two agencies have provided the affordable rates to an average American and are responsible for about 80% of the mortgage related activity today.
    When the agencies have needed the capital ,they have decided to issue common stock.Not too many investors would consider that a speculative investment-not exactly to Enron.
    Now that the distortions of the economic and financial facts (influenced by the record short positionsin the shares of both agencies) are creating calls for the restructure of the agencies,common share holders (your average taxpayers)are being asked for a supreme sacrifice after investing in what many considered conservative institutions implicitly guarnteed by the U.S. Once again ,this is a wishful event thought up by the mega shorts.
    Second of all the housing sector is in the process of a major consolidation leading shortly to a major rebound .and providing stability in the financial sector.This housing segment of the market has the most relative value and "investment" funds are being set up (disseminated in the media) to take advantage of this opportunity.
    Paranoia and the mass hysteria aside,both agencie swill survive in the current form without any necessity for the rescue.
    They will provide the average tax payer with the competitive mortgage rates and will provide market stability/liquidity whenever skewered and biased interests will try to implode the market.
    The housing market is heading for a major rebound as is the stock market .FRE and the FNM will do just fine.

    Nice Charts, good comments. MACD in oversold territory on all, does this signify short term bounce? Reply
