    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

    How is a job loss of -285,000 for the month of May consistent with a +2.0% GDP for the 2nd quarter? (See the BLS's 1-page summary at stats.bls.gov/web/cpse... , or at unlawflcombatnt.proboa... )

    Excellent compilation of data! You paint a much more accurate picture of the real U.S. economy than the media mis-reports. Current jobs data are consistent with about a 2.0% GDP for the second quarter and the first quarter GDP will pobably be bumped up again. (Aftertax corporate profits of 5.6% in the first quarter were the highest ever as is cash in corporate treasuries). Thanks for the real data.,

    Mid Caps Outperforming Small and Large Caps [view article]
    This is one of the strangest thing going on there on the wall street its getting stranger day by day. MDY has moved up, almost non-stop, for last two months.

    Why? MDY (S& P mid-cap 400) is loaded with - Tech, Energy, Matreial and Agri companies. On any given day during last two months, one or more of the above sector was in the green. On many days all sectors were up.

    So wdhen energy is up, MDY goes up. When Oil is down then Tech is up and MDY moves up. When everything else is slow, fertilizers and materials move up and MDY goes up.

    Curious how long it can defy gravity.     Reply

    Why the S&P SmallCap Index Consistently Beats the Russell 2000 [view article]
    Kevin -- if you do your own chart over a number of years, the data is indisputable. Of course if someone is trying to time the market, my conclusion is moot. But for those of us who want long term exposure to the small cap asset class with periodic rebalancing, I don't know why anyone would use a Russell index. Reply

    I don't know that his data is entirely correct. There are times when the 2000 outperforms the 600, and back and forth. It can depend on what time period you choose. When the Russell 1000 outperformed the S&P 500 for 3/5/7 year periods did we run an article or ad? No. It just depends on various factors.........

    As for the arbitrage game? The last couple/few years there has been NO game to play, those that did, got whacked....     Reply

    This is a great post, one of the best I've seen on Seeking Alpha by far. I like the S&P system because it is fair to everyone and can't serve as the easy to riches scheme for a hedge fund manager who wants his clients to think he is carrying out much more complex schemes than simple arbitrage.

    Is Smallcap Volatility Pain Worth the Gain? [view article]
    Bear Stearns was a large cap. No pain there. Or Enron, Worldcom need I go further. As for neuropeptides give me a break. You forgot to analyze what color the logo of the company has to do with whether or not the stock does better in even or odd years. Don't count on me to subscribe to your newsletter M. Zhuang. Reply
