    Country 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 Reply

    ETFs 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

    Best ETF and CEF Absolute Lagged Correlation To the S&P 500 [view article]
    Hello Harvey,
    Lagged correlation here is the correlation between two time series with one shifted so that its dates are lagged by a certain number of periods. For instance, the 1-day lag correlation would be the correlation between DND on day N and the S&P on day N+1.

    Mike, I am really sorry, but could you give a brief explanation of "lagged correlation", I am not quite certain what you are demonstrating although I think it could be an interesting observation. Reply
