Why Won't the U.K. Join the Euro? [view article]
I cant understand why we havent joined the single currency already, and find it even more strange that as citizens we are told nothing, the government ignore the issue and we are all left wondering!We were told once the 5 econimic tests were reached we would then join the currency, maybe now is the time to ditch the pound and make us much more competive as a country - especially now the pound is doing so crap against the euro and we get nothing exchanging our £s to €s for holidays now so why not.
The euro seems to be a much stable currency now its settled in, and seems to be doing a hell of a lot better during this global credit crunch than the £ has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reply

Bloomberg also offers a more comprehensive (and disinterested) listing of ETFs. ReplyKey ETF Performance [view article]
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? ReplyFinancial Markets: The Era of Caution [view article]
"The rally’s lack of breadth, however, is worrying, causing Richard Russell (Dow Theory Letters) to warn:If July 15 was a true bottom, the market should be roaring up today, and that’s not what’s been happening. Caution is warranted!"
It's statements like these that show how many boobs there are in the financial misinformation business. Did this 'author' really think that a market bottom in July would result in a 'roaring' upmarket in August. That's why I use the term 'boob' (what other term is there for these people - financial misinformation 'boobs'). All this gloom and doom and then in the same breath (hold your breath now) you get a statement like this: "The thrifts and mortgage finance group (+16%) was the best-performing group for the week, led by Freddie Mac (FRE) and Fannie Mae (FNM), up 61% and 37% respectively. This is a strong reversal from being the worst performing group during the previous week with a decline of 23%. The stocks were driven down recently by speculation on whether a government bailout was imminent, a prospect that would probably wipe out the equity holders. Those concerns seemed to diminish last week after some analysts estimated that the firms had enough capital to last at least until next year." Oh Boy! I sure see a lot of concern about markets in that statement - enough capital to last until at least next year!
No, the financial markets are not going to collapse. They can't. There are too many Mozillo (sp?) types out there that would (should) have to go to jail for the fraud they perpetrated, and that ain't going to happen. Massive price corrections - you bet - and there should be. The days of hyper-inflated home prices are over - and should of never happened (except for those Mozillo types that made it happen and will never be prosecuted) Operating on equity - not anymore - there is none in this market. All you have to work with now is your dollar per hour wage - no stated income.
Remember Silverado? Boy did we make it through all that or what! And all those millionaires 10 - 15 years later. They laughed all the way to the bank - with financials stocks. You know what they say, 'Buy low, sell high'. So, be a true investor and quit worrying about what the various markets are doing and simply follow your gut which says 'WaMu is really low right now, so is Feddie Mac (I have positions in both), maybe I should buy now". Don't be scared! After you buy them put them away for say, ten years. Don't get rattled by the short and pump guys - they're day traders. After ten years take a look at the stocks you bought. I bet you'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Do Foreign Currency ETFs Have a Place in Your Portfolio? [view article]
Thanks for a very useful article. With an Obama win likely, I am looking for a way to play stagflation. I thought the Swiss Franc might be a good place to put a portion of my growing cash position (45%) to work for both safety and income reasons. Your article gives me more ideas and options. My equity portfolio is heavily weighted to energy, commodities, and pipeline utilities; with a smaller exposure to technology and electric utilities. Currency ETFs will give a bit of diversification on the cash side. ReplyFinancial Markets: The Era of Caution [view article]
Lacked focus not to mention wordy. The problem with the exhaustive posts of facts ad nausean is one has no idea of all matter, few, or none. In the end the credit squeeze is going to hurt employment and output and no one has a clue how long the sequence will take to work through, or what the outcome will be. We are in a credit warp, which as you will recall from star wars, was one of the worse things that can happen on a star voyage, as I recall. ReplyFinancial Markets: The Era of Caution [view article]
