    There seem to be other forces at work here.While I agree on much of what the author says,the institutions still cannot remain in cash for long regardless of what the economic trends tell them. This is a growing part of the investment community and it takes the bite out of speculators and individual investors ability to move markets based on sound fundamentals.

    Truth is,this market is probably 35% or more,overvalued ,if you use common sense ,instead of hyped thinking.I just can't find it in my heart to go long now.

    Great article. I am glad to read that I am not the only person who believes that the US is entering a prolonged period of stagflation. The Fed governors say it will never happen along with the market pundits. They say that there is no inflation because housing prices are declining. They even claim that the US is experiencing deflation. LOL!! Accoring to the fake government numbers, gasoline prices actually declined in April even though April gasoline futures went from 3.26 to 3.49. The worst part is that the market seems to believe the government numbers. Reply

    An Unusual Seven-Stock Lazy Portfolio [view article]
    From ADREs' inception EEM has outperformed but if you go to Yahoo finance charts and drag to start the chart at late 2004 which is when i first bought ADRE has out performed by a lot. Does that continue? I think so but maybe not.

    Thanks for the comment on non-volume leaders. There are lots of interesting broad based products for people to explore.

    Its nice to see someone throw a portfolio out there using interesting ETFs, not just the volume leaders.

    I am curious about your selection of ADRE over EEM. ADRE has outperformed over a two year period, but it is EEM that has smoked ADRE over the longer term. Also, EEM seems to better represent the underlying sector than ADRE's 50 ADR constituents...

    Leveraged ETFs For Upside Juice and Downside Protection [view article]
    What you describe may indeed work but these leveraged funds have not been around long enough to back-test a proposal such as yours over a time period that includes a bear market. As a result, I was more comfortable taking the approach that these ETFs be used more as the title of the post describes: juice returns and provide downside protection.

    Thanks for reading the article carefully and looking at the premise from a different angle.

    I'm interested in the best use of these instruments for a non rocket-scientist, and haven't yet dipped a toe in. However, with respect to overall portfolio risk, it seems to me the obverse of the "ultra" performance is that, for example, you could have the equivalent of plain vanilla SPY performance as a "core" portfolio holding, with exactly half the capital investment. Obviously, the ups and downs of that holding will be more breathtaking, but the "ultra" cautious investor could usefully put the freed-up half of the core into income or other prudently diversified asset classes that might be unaffordable when so much capital is being tied up in SPY. So I'm not sure the "best use" is necessarily as an STP treatment instead of a main fuel. Reply
