    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

    My 2008 Predictions for the GICS Sectors [view article]
    The GICS sectors are another way of breaking out the holdings of a portfolio into 10 defined sectors as was mentioned in the last post. The sectors are far from perfect as consumer discretionary as an example could include your typical retailer which is a more cyclical stock along with for-profit education stocks which may actually be a more counter-cyclical way to look at the market.

    GICS is an acronym for "Global Industry Classification Standard" that was developed by MSCI and S&P to better classify stocks into 10 distinct sectors for evaluation. 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

    Dr. Pfeil,

    I respectfully disagree with your position. My sense is that we are clearly ALREADY in recession. Raising interest rates at any time this year will be seriously counter-productive. If we are not ALREADY in recession, why do we not have any meaningful inflation given:



    Deficit financing of the war (annually $300 - $400 Billion)
    Massive budget deficits (always inflationary)
    Massive trade deficits (that should cause importation of inflation)
    Explosive money supply growth (>8%) vis-a-vis GDP growth (
