ETF Update: Hedges Against Oil, Retail ETFs Up, ETFs and a Bullish Dollar [view article]
How do you make money going long and short on the same security? ReplyETF Update: Hedges Against Oil, Retail ETFs Up, ETFs and a Bullish Dollar [view article]
Now, there is also a new commodity ETN that takes BOTH long and short positions in the same ETF. When I read the headline, I was interested in the article because I thought that's what this article would be about, but it wasn't. The symbol for the ETN that goes BOTH long and short is LSC. Cool!

Virtually One Hundred Percent of debt currently rated "junk" will default over next 12-18 months. Why is Moody's still here? Why are any of the ratings agencies or Money Center banks still asked for an opinion??The credit crunch will eat junk alive. Reply

As the talking heads on TV say...There is nothing to see here, everything is fine, the rebound will come in the second half just twenty days away.That's funny. Reply

What consumer spending?What I see are people buying non-discretionaries at higher prices using credit cards. That's no consumer spending. That's the consumer praying their credit limits hold out long enough for some sort of turn around.
I can tell you why weak job growth and weak economy don't immediately affect consumer spending. It's because the average consumer is a financial idiot. The average American has a negative savings rate at the moment, but they have multi-thousand dollar credit limits. When things start getting tight, they don't cut back spending. They put it on a credit card. And when that card is full, they'll put it on another one.
Credit is the American Way. Spending more than you can really afford is the American Way. Or at least that's what sold to the populace.

If financials were the cause of our present problems, it might make sense that they don't lead the parade out of the recession. prior recessions were driven by other factors.Thx jegan ;-) Reply

Is this a buy or a sell? ReplyBest ETF and CEF Absolute Lagged Correlation To the S&P 500 [view article]
I'm stupid. I need words! Do you mean that 25% of the time, the S&P500 correlates exactly to what the RXI did 21 days earlier? Do you mean that 21 days behind the RXI, the S&P500 acts the same with a 25% variance? I doubt that this is what you mean but what can it be? 25% is the BEST? Why bother. And what about the neg.%'s? Is it helpful to know that something is 'off' or at variance at a 14% rate? That still leaves 86% that isn't neccesarily exactly correlating.....I WANT to see a pattern like whatever it is I get a hint of what I THINK you could possibly mean..........but ....just what IS that?!?
Expand. Please. I'm beggin' ya!

The only bounce you are going to see is a bounce to lower lows. ReplyCountry vs. Sector Diversification with ETFs [view article]
Foreign ETFs are big contributors to my balanced portfolio, however, what I find more often than not is that many of these ETFs have high concentrations on specific sectors - e.g. financials or oil & gas, etc. which leads to eliminating them from a balanced portfolio consideration due to high correlation to other domestic ETFs. ILF is one of the more profitable components I've been using recently. See my full portfolio at notiming.com ReplyGlobal Sector ETF Spread [view article]
Good stuff, thank you ReplyCountry vs. Sector Diversification with ETFs [view article]
Great info, thank you. I loved it. ReplyETFs and Consumer Spending in Retreat [view article]
Duh! The "consumer" started cutting back early Q4 2007, as gas prices, then food prices, started digging a big hole in the family budget, with more debt no longer being a realistic option. At this point, the "consumer" is in full-scale retreat, hibernation. How come you folks are always so far behind the curve? Reply
