job well done and very easy to follow ReplyKey ETF Performance [view article]
kkin - I think they posted this info for the sole purpose of giving you a reason to complain. Good to see you had a nice holiday. ReplyKey ETF Performance [view article]
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? ReplyA 360 View of Returns (July 2008) [view article]
Finally, a universal overview that gives the reader direction for areas to research for future investment. Great job! ReplyA 360 View of Returns (July 2008) [view article]

The Long Road: Bears Go Home (for Now) [view article]
Anyone I hear from, their moms and their grandmothers are buying commodities.This movie has been played before (in dot com era and in housing market). Just remember what goes up.. must come down. You can't fight gravity for long. Reply

Energy and other commodity ETFs enjoyed hefty gains on Friday as oil spiked to almost $140 while the Dow tanked 394 points. Staying long in strong sectors like commodities (OIL) and selected foreign markets like Brazil (EWZ) has been the ticket lately. It protects you against both rising inflation and the deflating economy. Check out our website for more info. Replyspeculator

Afraid not ... finished it up as it was happening! Understand this isn't an attempt to market time, rather aimed at our audience of long-term focused investors. Is this bear going to turn into 2000-2002 again? And I'm trying to give advice ... the point is, if you've got a set allocation and looking at making tactical changes only if the sky falls (or something similar) ... is it time yet to head to the hills? Some experienced managers (two of which went on the record) aren't ready to panic just yet ... and everyone's situation is different. ReplyThe Long Road: Bears Go Home (for Now) [view article]
Muray-Surely you must have written this article BEFORE the Dow tanked 395 points today and the Russell 2000 tanked 22.9 points (-3.00%). The bulls went home today. Or more appropriately, the bulls were barbecued for dinner! Bull market? Only for BBQ's bull meat! Reply

Thank you for this article Richard. Your data for the 10 year period is consistent with other articles I have read. The data can be interpreted in different ways. I would like to comment that for the 10 years, returns of less than eight percent are horrible for the risks that one must take. But seven percent is better than 4.89 percent.How does this data relate to future returns? Can we project, with any degree of certainty, that the S&P 400 MC G will have a annualized rate of return >10 percent over the next 10 years? Warren Buffet doesn't think so.
Now if I asked myself that last question I would have to say "I don't know".
My interest in reading your article and commenting on it is because I am retired and need current income from my investments with safety of principal. I would not be happy with a 10 year total return of 2.21 % or 3.89 %.
As I look at the universe of stocks, I see a paltry few that return more than 7 percent from dividends. I now have some stocks that are returning between 8 and 15% in dividends with, maybe, some capital appreciation in 3 to 5 years. If I am successful then I will have outperformed eight of the nine groups in your chart and I think I will have beat 50% of the mutual fund universe.
It is not easy to find good assets (companies) to invest in that are not subject to the whims of the market or run by incompetent people. Thanks, again, for the article.
