triguy, I don't think there are enough wind companies yet to form an ETF. ReplyEnergy ETFs [view article]
Is there an ETF for pure play Wind Companies?For example, where would BWEN fall, any funds hold that significantly? ReplyJackson

Is this a buy or a sell? Reply8 Key Concerns and Questions for 2008 [view article]
Global recession is a real possibility that everyone is afraid to talk about... scared that the discussion will show that the emperor has no clothes!It is amazing that the China market is so completely given a pass...just like the 2000 tech bubble. The Fxi will drop from 170 to 70 in a matter of a few months as the global impact becomes more real. Reply
8 Key Concerns and Questions for 2008 [view article]
In another post, the commentator offered 10 predictions for 2008, one of which is on C, saying that it would drop down to "teens." Given that the expert quoted in this post is the strategist for C, perhaps one might want to pose two relateds question: (1) how do you see SIVs and subprimes being played out in 2008? (2) how would this playout affect C's stock price, dividend policy, and capital adequacy? omooc ReplyInternational ETFs: Profitable But Still Risky [view article]
What's with the "some would" phrase? Do you believe this drawdown theory is the proper way to express relative risk? Your bio says you're a risk expert -- is this the way you calculate risk, using this drawdown statistic? ReplyNusbaum

the link is embedded into the first sentence of this article where it says "interesting article." It lists Siegel's portfolio there. ReplyArrow

High Beta Stocks: Do They Offer Higher Returns? [view article]
First poster: If you already know everything, why do you read articles? Anyway... According to Fama & French, there isn't a lot of evidence that high beta stocks offer much additional long-term return. The value and size factors are larger contributors than beta.However, there's clearly some kind of feedback loop operating with high-beta stocks in which their volatility helps contribute to a sharp upward move, which then attracts a flood of new money, pushing the stock even higher. But its a short-term phenomenon that can turn on investors quickly.
Good studies to read: Jegadeesh & Titman (1993), Debondt and Thaler (1985), Fama & French (1992). Reply

High Beta Stocks: Do They Offer Higher Returns? [view article]
it is fine to disagree with me and think I am an idiot but you didn't really read the post very well. I was quoting John Mauldin's newsletter. Further, I challenge the conclusion from Mauldin's site in the fourth paragraph.You comment about buying a double long SPX fund will return more over time but as to I point I actually did make you increase volatility dramatically, far more so than most people can tolerate.
The point of my comments, which you seem to be the only person to have missed this, which I will repeat from the post is <em>Success with the next fad will not come from holding forever; it will come from holding for a couple of years, give or take.</em> Reply

High Beta Stocks: Do They Offer Higher Returns? [view article]
This is ridiculous. Nusbaum simply states that high beta stocks don't offer high returns. The closest thing to evidence he presents is when he states that a high beta stock could go down 80%. So could a low beta stock. For that matter, a stock with a negative beta could decline 80% as well.It’s pretty clear that Nusbaum doesn't really understand what beta is. It is a measure of an asset's exposure to the market. Here's a good example of a high beta portfolio: SPY leveraged 2 to 1. I'd say that has a beta of just about 2. I assume that as a financial advisor, Mr. Nusbaum believes that stocks increase in value over time. If this is true, how could my high beta portfolio not offer higher than market returns?
There are some great posts on this site, but I wish it wasn’t polluted with this type of negative information waste of cyberspace. Reply
