    The U.S. Credit Crisis: Major Paradigm Shift [view article]
    Who will most likely take the painful action, grab the bull by the horn, and fix the problem long term? Who will most likely skirt the issue and consequently prolong the agony?

    We need a President who will be deliberate and mature to fix the problem. One who will fix it even if it is painful because it is good for the USA in the long run. This will be one who has already been tested and shown his courage, integrity, honorability and love of country. Our country's fate is in our hands; we all need to decide now .... McCain or Obama.

    How this credit crisis will be fixed?""&quo...

    The way all previous panics, depressions, & recessions were fixed,
    bad debt will be written off, some people/companies will go bankrupt,
    and some banks will close.

    Let's see, I'd put up Turkey and so forth but there's not enough data to make it worthwhile from a technical perspective. While I could post "index" graphs StockCharts [which I use for the blog] doesn't have many of these indexes.

    SLX is just in a default mode. I could do what you suggest I suppose but am happy with this.

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

    ETFs: A Screened List [view article]
    Bill (BILLB),

    I should have added that reasonable size is also determined by the investor's bit size. Someone who wants to put $10,000 into a position has different criteria than someone who wants to put $100,000 or $500,000 into a position.

    I certainly would not be willing to be more than 10% of a single day's trading, and would prefer to be closer to unobservable in the volumes.

    Personally, I like to see a rapidly moving tape for investments I make or make for others.

    For this screen I was more forgiving. I used the 1-minute charts and wanted to see all or most minutes with trading activity. I did it visually without a bright line test.

    There are many newer ETFs with interesting objectives, but with so little trading that you may wait too long for a limit buy to execute and maybe longer for your limit sell to execute. Market orders on thinly traded ETFs are not a good idea.

    It becomes a personal matter, but the best situations would allow you to exit whenever you please. You might also find unattractive Bid-Ask spreads in cases where trading is sporadic or limited.
