    triguy, I don't think there are enough wind companies yet to form an ETF. Reply

    Update: We just added the soon-to-launch Claymore Global Solar Energy ETF (TAN) to the list.

    And in the further reading section, we added a link to Hard Asset Investor's article: New Solar ETFs: Here Come the Suns.

    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

    Oil & Gas Industry: Projecting What's Ahead in 2030 [view article]
    Interesting set of statistics and perspectives. $113 per barrel oil assumes that production can continue as it has for the last decade. The situation would shift dramatically if the "peak oil" theorists turn out to be correct. Even the most conservative energy analysts (Cambridge Energy Research Associates) say that we have reached a point where it will be very hard to do anything more than keep production levels where they are. And the oil companies admit:

    "All the easy oil and gas in the world has pretty much been found. Now comes the harder work in finding and producing oil from more challenging environments and work areas.”

    — William J. Cummings, ExxonMobil's spokesman in Angola, Dec. 2005

    So given that production is going to be increasingly difficult, and costly or actually in decline by as much as 4% annually (Simmons) it seems impossible that oil will "only" be $113 a barrel in 2030. It seems equally likely it will be $280 a barrel. The only thing that may prevent that is a recession / global depression where oil consumption drops dramatically but this seems also unlikely to depress prices much since demand in the emerging markets will remain strong enough to absorb any "surplus" as supplies decline. The conclusion to take away is we will never see "cheap" oil again. Ever.     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

    Have we missed out any ETFs here or made any mistakes? Or any Seeking Alpha articles that are important to understanding them that we haven't mentioned? If so, please leave a comment and let us know! Reply
