    The Long Road: Bears Go Home (for Now) [view article]
    Anyone I hear from, their moms and their grandmothers are buying commodities.

    This movie has been played before (in dot com era and in housing market). Just remember what goes up.. must come down. You can't fight gravity for long.     Reply

    The Long Road: Bears Go Home (for Now) [view article]
    Energy and other commodity ETFs enjoyed hefty gains on Friday as oil spiked to almost $140 while the Dow tanked 394 points. Staying long in strong sectors like commodities (OIL) and selected foreign markets like Brazil (EWZ) has been the ticket lately. It protects you against both rising inflation and the deflating economy. Check out our website for more info. Reply

    That story doesn't look so smart today. I have been short for more than a month. I will explain why @ theinvestingspeculator... Reply

    Afraid not ... finished it up as it was happening! Understand this isn't an attempt to market time, rather aimed at our audience of long-term focused investors. Is this bear going to turn into 2000-2002 again? And I'm trying to give advice ... the point is, if you've got a set allocation and looking at making tactical changes only if the sky falls (or something similar) ... is it time yet to head to the hills? Some experienced managers (two of which went on the record) aren't ready to panic just yet ... and everyone's situation is different. Reply

    Muray-
    Surely you must have written this article BEFORE the Dow tanked 395 points today and the Russell 2000 tanked 22.9 points (-3.00%). The bulls went home today. Or more appropriately, the bulls were barbecued for dinner! Bull market? Only for BBQ's bull meat!     Reply

    Not All Passively Managed Funds Are Created Equal [view article]
    Another issue not mentioned is how well the fund company tracks the index. Compare VWO and EEM which track the same MSCI index. There have been very large differences in quarterly returns, far in excess of the differences in expenses or lending fees.

    Too bad DFA makes you go through broker / advisor who... adds fees.

    If DFA really was concerned about investors who may not understand buy and hold diversification etc... they would simply charge a fee to enter and exit (trade) the funds and not allow investors who do this.

    While most investors (i.e. daytrading Americans) have no clue as to the long term benefits of DFA's approach, in recent times enough do that they should open up to individuals.     Reply

    Fee Cuts Solidify Vanguard's Position as the ETF Cost Leader [view article]
    Excellent article. How's the performance of the Vanguard index funds versus comparable iShares (ie. tracking error from the underlying indexes)? Reply

    Better ETF Performance From Funds Based on Proprietary Index Methodologies? [view article]
    Thanks for the interesting article.
    It would be good to have a results table as well as the commentary: Eight funds, three time frames, it is really a bit much.
    Since the results are so inconclusive, it would probably be more meaningful to to look at longer time frames     Reply
