    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

    AXL may be the worst managed company in America. Giving million dollar executive bonuses at this time is pathetic. Reply

    Consumer spending is 70% of the US economy. Until we put disposable incomeback into the general public housholds, there will be a recssion.
    P.S. temporary tax rebate is jst a band aid. As for investing, the place to be is in the necessities. When I get my rebate, I may buy a WII.     Reply

    For Georealist:

    Thanks for your comment. This is based on his report in early January, and I'm sure that there will be upward revision on analyst estimates in general.. Attached is the link to Institutional Investor's (I'm not saying it's the most accurate measure of analyst performance, but it is a prestigious industry benchmark) rankings of top Metals and Mining analysts:

    www.iimagazine.com/Ran...~categoryId--13__part-...

    starmine.com is also a great resource to learn about top analysts.

    Let me know if you have further questions.     Reply

    I cannot imagine the outlook for the health care industry being positive if the Democrats control the White House as well as the Congress. Reply

    Level playing fields are great and all, but given the somewhat suspect (moral/ethical) value sytems of many of the sovereign-wealth sources, I'd prefer the level playing field that favors the U.S. just a little more than of late. I don't really see the U.S. striving to instigate the tenets of tyranny, through economic manipulation, or any other means. But I do see that as a possible consequence of many near/mid/far east capital injection sources. Reply

    What's wrong with sovereign-wealth funds? When USA was buying up foreign banks, directly or indirectly funded by the government, no one raised any issues. Wake up. Let's have a level playing field. Reply
