      Citigroup Sale Brings Petrodollars Home
      Yes, but there are bidders and offerers (or askers), and bidders can drive up prices (for what it's worth).

      10 Important Facts on the Current State of the Market
      2. 'Technical analysis' is a misnomer, covering a wide spectrum of quantitive speculation from fanciful to the fundamental. Ultimately, there are only those who believe they can predict the future and those humble bogles who think that the index is king.
      4. Other european indices are up. IEV, which tracks the SnP Europe 350 Index, is up around 13%.
      5. A case for diversification via ETFs.
      6. Japan is in a 17 year down trend. If it breaks that trend, I think it will be the rage. Every man and his dog will want to own Japan. There won't be a mother's son who won't own Japan. Japan will be THE core of everyone's portfolios for years to come. But only tea leaves and crystal balls will tell you when that year will be.
      9. Check out some other indices, rather than the DJ variety.
      10. Ditto.

      Economic Growth and Equity Returns: Conventional Wisdom is Wrong Again
      Excellent article. Makes good sense.

      Moot point whether value stocks always outperform growth. But that's not the main point of the article.

      The November Market Syndrome
      Started out interesting. But you lost me here:
      "Profits need to be taken when they appear... the investment gods are watching."
      My profits usually appear at the 1% level. Should I be taking them every 1%?

      Peak Oil Hits the Wall Street Journal
      How is "this" going to end? Does peak dollar mean that there aren't going to be any dollars left? Ugh!

      Rydex's New Equal Weight Sector ETFs
      Liquidity of these funds, with the exception of RSP, is very low. Some don't trade every day.

      Approaching Recession? It's Already Here
      My goodness! 500 billion smackeroos! That's a lot of Moolah! (Yes, you guess it, I'm a Fisher fan.)

      Stephen Leeb suggests that when the price of oil has risen 80% in the last 12 months, the economy is in for a shock and markets will turn bearish. I have yet to see evidence of a major turn. But bear markets take a while to manifest.

      As for being in a recession, almost by definition, they are over before you can confirm them. If you are worried about 'the full onslaught' you might be disappointed. It will probably be over by the time it's confirmed. But if you are really worried, I suggest you start a goat farm - the best hedge against recession or depression or economic anxiety of any kind!

      Agricultural Commodities Strong, But Waiting To Buy
      DXAG has good support on your chart at around 1.3 to 1.4. Is gold getting whacked or is the current pullback a good buying opportunity? Silver too.

      A Lazy ETF Portfolio With U.S./Foreign Mixture
      This is a very interesting concept, made possible by the recent proliferation of global ETFs. I made a tally from ETF connect and count around 150 global, regional and country funds. My comment would be that domestic/foreign needn'tbe an either/or decision. Rather, one could easily have twenty ETF's: 10 domestic and 10 foreign. Ratios of holdings could be according to a chosen benchmark, domestic or international and varied according to preferences such as the inversion of the yield curve.

      This is a tantalizing proposition for the conservative investor. It has the benefit of diversification, globalizaation and benchmarking without picking stocks.

      One potential problem is counterparty risk. Are ETF's as safe as the underlying shares? Is there a risk that Ishares could make a computer error, or suffer from fraud? Should one consciously diversify among ETF holders to avoid such a risk?
