    Looking Inside the New Ben Graham ETN Baskets [view article]
    I do appreciate the commentary from everyone.

    Mr. Carson, I especially appreciate your commentary regarding some dividend paying ETNs. The unique features of some of these ETNs are certainly worth exploring. Thanks again!     Reply

    Just buy the S&P 500, this ETN will do no better than the overall index in my opinion Reply

    Rick...Excellent article about ETNs!

    Just to clarify, however, there actually ARE 4 ETN's which currently do(or are planning to) pay dividends. (You had mentioned that "ETNs don't pay dividends, interest or capital gains")

    The four ETNs which pay dividends are GCE (Goldman Sacks-Claymore CEF Index Linked ETN), BSR (BearLinx Alerian MPL Select ETN) ,PGD (Barclays Asian and Gulf Currency Revaluation ETN) and JEM (Barclays GEMS Index ETN).

    GCE invests in a basket of 75 discounted Closed-End Funds following a CEF Index selected by Claymore Securities (claymoresecurities.com). GCE's distribution rate is variable with the past three quarterly dividends being $1.66, $0.28 and $0.64.

    BSR is an energy infrastructure play which invests in fifty Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) which track the "Alerian MPL Select Index" (alerian.com). One unique feature of this ETN is its issuance of a 1099 at year end, rather than the K-1 Partnership tax reports normally associated with individual MLP holdings.

    Both PGD and JEM are currencies bundles pegged, to some extent, to the US Dollar, and were just recently brought to market by Barclays on June 18, 2008. PGD includes currencies of the Saudi Arabian riyal, Hong Kong dollar, United Arab Emirates dirham, Singaporean dollar and the Chinese yuan. The GEM bundle will include currency holdings from 15 Global Emerging Markets (hence the symbol, GEM) in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America an Asia. Both PGD and GEM will distribute interest earned on the locally earned currency deposits on a quarterly basis. The rates are yet to be determined. (ipathetn.com)     Reply

    Semiconductor Returns a Function of Financials [view article]
    I fully expect the SOXX to recover over the next 36 months. The opportunity found in SNDK and NVDA are once decade opportunities. The opportunity in AMD if it can make itself right is one in an investors lifetime. Reply

    KLA-Tencor and the Fate of the Semiconductor Capital Equipment Sector [view article]
    Cadence and KLA sounds like an odd match. KLA-Tencor is very specialized in yield management, while Cadence is a jack of all trades EDA vendor. I don't see how Cadence's tools for synthesis, logical simulation, layout... in fact the whole front end match with anything KLA-Tencor is doing. Still, good overview of the company.

    Samsung Cutbacks Raise Chip Concerns - Citi [view article]
    Citgroup? I'm quite concerned for their investors--Citigroup is simply not being straight with them.

    The worst is still to come for Citigroup.     Reply

    Hello Big:

    Is there a reason for the pullback in NVDA? The valuations appears quite reasonable.     Reply

    This chart would be even more useful if it also included trailing PEs. Reply

    The problem with GRMN is that all of their functionalities can and will be imported into or imbedded into cell phones. Unless GRMN plans on getting into telecom they have a bleak future. Maybe they can develop some code or apps for the i-phone and forestall the inevitable. Reply
