- Friday, January 20, 2012, 12:53 PM The government's lockdown of Megaupload.com (I, II) unveils the dangerous side of storing info in the cloud, as thousands of innocent users wake up to find their files completely inaccessible. Cloud computing ETF SKYY has held its own since the flareup - but the security and reliability questions that linger around the industry could remain an ongoing issue for cloud players. Comment! [Tech, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, August 22, 2011, 1:23 PM Global X files to list the Social Media Index ETF to be traded on the NYSE under the symbol SOCL. The fund adds to the list of ever-narrower niche ETFs such as the recent smartphone FONE, cloud computing SKYY, and fertilizer SOIL offerings. Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, July 21, 2011, 9:09 AM Acer (ASIYF.PK) announces it plans to buy iGware for $320M to help the firm enter the cloud market.

- Wednesday, July 6, 2011, 2:25 PM First Trust has launched the first ETF focused on cloud computing. Trading under the ticker SKYY, the ETF has an expense ratio of 0.6%, and its top 5 holdings are NFLX, RNOW, OTEX, RAX, and TIBX. Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, July 1, 2011, 3:48 PM First Trust's cloud computing ETF (SKYY) is set to launch on July 6. A little backtesting shows its performance isn't a whole lot different than the XLK or the FDN, but SKYY will have smaller size firms, a higher beta ... and a higher expense ratio. Comment! [Tech]
