    The Swiss ETF - EWL seems to always an average performer.Others like EWG,EWD are probably better bets. Reply

    Very interesting. The inverted 2 year verses 10 year treasury returns is a well-known phenomenon but the oil factor is new to me (just a private investor).

    Anyone know where the best source for single day oil prices could be found?

    Value Investors Riding a Hard Patch of Road [view article]
    Mike, I don't think this is about an investment style being temporarily "out of fashion". Rather, the stocks that looked to you as though they were value stocks weren't really value stocks, because their earnings prospects were worse than you assumed.

    The remarkable thing about value stocks is the way the market has swung in such a short time. Only recently, tons of capital was swashing around, causing private equity funds to buy companies and pushing other companies to increase their leverage at the cost of free cash flow. Now companies -- particularly financials -- are being forced to shore up their balance sheets by raising more capital.

    We now know that the "easy money" wasn't really so "easy", as the credit pyramid was rotten at its base. And the earnings projections that were based on that easy money weren't real earnings.

    Surely that's why your value stocks weren't really value stocks.

    But is value investing out of style? Look at BRKA's stock price for an answer to that question.

    I am obliged by this amount of work and surprised by its result.
    During my investigations within the total ETF's of Dutch AEX index the following could be ascertained :
    During eight years the annual and preselected stocks of that AEX delivered together a Bèta of 0,62 and an Alpha of >9%

    Heather, Nice work. How can we get the Mazzilli and Maister report? It doesn't show up on Google or Yahoo. Do they consider risk adjusted performance as well? Does the story change at all?

    36-Month ETF Correlations with Russell 3000 [view article]
    I'm not sure that 36 months is enough of a time frame to use for this research, especially given health care's underperformance and energy's outperformance during the period. If you use the Sector SPDRs, like XLF, XLV, etc, you have a more data to work with. Reply
