    Update: We've added Roger Nusbaum's short article "Explore More Core" ( seekingalpha.com/artic... ) to the Further Reading section.

    It's short, and asks more questions than it answers, but it touches on a crucial issue: Should you build a portfolio with an All World ETF as the core, supplemented by perhaps one other instrument?     Reply

    Two of those that went down also just gave (very respectable) dividends within the last day or so. Perhaps more. Maybe the ones that haven't are close to an ex-date? Grain of salt, gang. Reply

    Today's Key ETF Performances: Financials Lead, Commodities Lag [view article]
    Let's see...investments banks need to raise capital. Those who choose to do this by issuing more shares will benefit most if their share prices are high. They can borrow at 2.5% against mortgages that in most cases have defaulted or soon will. Now, let's see, what should they do?

    I've got it: borrow heavily against worthless assets, buy futures in the morning market to put on a gap-open short squeeze, then buy each others' shares all day. Meanwhile, get the commodities exchanges to increase margin requirements and whisper to their desperate hedge fund clients that the Fed would really prefer their long positions there to be closed out so if they'd like to share in the benefits of access to the printing press then this would be a good time to do so. The hedgies dump hard assets and join the financials rally, the shorts get the shaft, the bankers go home winners, and the PPT get Black medals all 'round.

    Can't prove it but I'd be shocked if most of this isn't happening. There is simply no rational explanation for news of another $19b write-down and an ISM reading still indicating contraction to be greeted by a 4% rally. I could believe the commodities sell-off is a response to "deleveraging&quo... or recession fears, but then why such a large rally in equities, especially financials for which the fundamentals have not improved a whit? Nope, sorry. This is manipulation by the Fed, the Treasury, the PPT, and the banks. Simple as that.     Reply

    ETF Performance Recap: Commodities Lead; Nasdaq, Chindia Lead Declines [view article]
    I agree with Alan. This is much needed info. I'm surprised at the Nat Gas information, though, considering that nat gas is the most abundant source of energy available domestically. I wonder, however, if it will continue to perform so well as the heating season ends. This seasonal factor tends to depress nat gas during the warmer months. Time will tell. Thanks again for the info. Reply

    ETF Fund Flows (Week Ending 1/4/08) [view article]
    I don't know. But here is my guess: the short is done with futures (or options when no future market exists), with the bulk of funds in tbills against possible drawdowns. My guess is based on the surprisingly large dividend that some of these short ETF's pay. Hopefully, somebody who knows the answer will tell both of us. Thanks in advance. Reply

    Participants will deliver/receive the underlying securities of the ETF when creating/redeeming an ETF. Does anyone know what ETF specialists deliver/receive when they create/redeem on an ultra long/short ETF?
    Thanks     Reply
