    Will M&A Activity Boost PowerShares Dynamic Biotech & Genome ETF? [view article]
    I agree that there will be continued play in the sector given the desperation of the majors to develop their own drugs internally to offset the massive patent expirations occurring over the next few years.

    Interestingly, there's a pretty strong seasonality to the biotech sector and we're still in the trough. Generally such trends are spotted quickly and evaporate due to efficient markets within a couple years, but this one's still in place it seems (I had used BBH as my proxy due to longer tenure, but trade with XBI due to better representation of the sector and less reliance on AMGN, DNA).

    The sector outperforms big time in the late fall/winter on a pretty routine basis:

    Are you aware of Stock-Encyclopedia.com (etf.stock-encyclopedia.../), which has a nice listing of ETFs. They are categorized somewhat differently from this listing, though. Reply

    2 Biotech ETFs Differ Greatly in Constituents [view article]
    etf's are nice.. but they trade like a mutual fund and the holdings are subject to change... i prefer the small to midcap biotechs like gnvc and imgn... though they are both small market capwise.. they pack huge potential .. even if u just trade the ranges.... Reply

    Has anyone compared the performance of these ETFs, and the PowerShares methodology generally, to plain index funds? I'd be very interested to hear the results. Reply

    The Matt Hougan article on theme ETF expenses is helpful -- thanks for the pointer. He's right -- makes you want to buy the stocks of the ETF firms more than the ETFs themselves. Reply

    How about a graph on the Zimbabwe market? I'm reading that their outrageous inflation is causing their stock market to soar, but it's not soaring fast enough to keep up with the decline in their currency. Reply

    I share your frustration with the lack of an energy policy but you have missed the major issue. Its seems so obvious that our grand children are going to live in a world where the demand for oil is higher than the supply (search for "Hubbert's Peak). This situation is going to cause recession and chaos (big business –read Exxon- is largely to blame). James Howard Kunstler says in his book “The Long Emergency” that there are NO alternatives to carbon energy. Even if he is only partially right the world is soon going to be in a great deal of trouble. The kind of energy policy we should have had is one that produces a low energy foot print for civilization. This means that instead of the oil companies being rich the designers and engineers that can build the kind of energy efficient life style that relies on conservation and sustainable energy sources will prosper (why don’t all structures in the U.S. have solar panels and geothermal temperature control systems?). Greed and stupidity have placed the U.S. in a position where we are at the mercy of the maniacs in the middle east and the world class crooks that run the governments in Africa’s oil producing nations. When we buy gasoline at the pump some of the profits go to buy fine liquor for the royal family and pay the “teachers” at the madrasas where the students chant cute slogans – “Death To America”.
