The Case Against Leveraged ETFs [view article]
Excelent article! By far the best that I've seen on the subject.I'm in the same position as Benjamin Washington above and have been invested in these type products in my IRAs for about five years on the same theory that he stated. Can anyone come up with a counter argument?
Note that IRAs (1) have tax deferred status, so capital gains distributions don't matter (2) prohibit margin borrowing and most options strategies.
As someone who has a very long time horizon for my money, it seems to me that a beta of 1.0 that I would get from an index fund is simply too conservative, but IRA rules prohibit me from increasing my systemic risk to what I consider to be an appropriate level. Reply

Great advice. I agree. ReplyAs Financials Go, So Go Stock Markets [view article]
Another posting blaming Bush-Cheney for 25+ years of a failed economic theory. I have a hint for you Ponca - Look up Milton Friedman, understand his role on influencing our economy and then tell me what political party this man belonged to. You have a lot to learn and should do so before shilling for a political party at an investor forum.The investors here are coming to conclusion that cheap abundant energy is the key to recovery and investing in American infrastructure.
I did see two men advocating adding energy supply consistently as a theme since 2002. They were Bush and Cheney. These men indeed have failures into oversight of the Iraq war for example and failure to listen to learned economic pundit screeching the alarm in 2005+2006 on the Housing/Finance/Overle... issue.
But ponder that the laws permitting intense leverage and other banking shenanigans were repealed by the Democratic party prevent banking abuse were repealed in 1999. Here's a link that will help: www.investopedia.com/a... . You can compare this rescinding of safeguards to 2002, and law called Sarbanes Oxley Act which passed in a Republican controlled house. Google that one too.
These days, I see the House controlled by the Democratic party. The speaker of this party will not even allow an up or down vote on drilling but instead, Democrats voted there majority for a 5 week recess. Is this what you shill for? Doesn't sound very Democratic to me. Learn why you have become a sheep for the larger objectives of a political party. You'll be a lot safer in life this way. I am not voting McCain or Obama this year if that tells you anything. Reply

White House ordered forgery – Really Didn’t Need It:With all the propaganda Media – For the War of LIES – Bush-Cheney didn’t need any other forgeries – Just let the MEDIA – spread the LIES.
Freedom of the PRESS – To lie all they want.
Benjamin Franklin would be ever so proud.
Or should of - just ask a mortgage appraiser – I KNOW they would of had NO PROBLEM – of forgoing it.

Greedy crooks in Banks and Broker firms have wrapped a lot of subprime, ARMS, credit cards, car loans, etc. in structured finance vehicles i.e.: CDO-ABS-MBS-SIVs, they misled the market and bond insurers into buy them and now everyone is paying the price with losses. Replyng
