      From ETFConnect as well (www.etfconnect.com/sel...):
      "The Fund seeks to track changes in the level of the Deutsche Bank G10 Currency Future Harvest Index. The Index is designed to reflect the return from investing on a 2 is to1 leveraged basis in long currency futures positions for certain currencies associated with relatively high yielding interest rates."

      Dan Ariely: Predictably Irritating
      I just finished this book as well. I have to agree about the shorthand, shoot-from-the-hip writing style. But I think reading some of this and internalizing it can make us better investors if we study our flaws.

      For example, there was an experiment in Ariely's book that had to to with optimization and choices. College students were given a computer game with the goal to maximize earnings. These students earned real money for every click they made inside virtual rooms. Some clicks in some rooms were worth more than in other rooms.

      Under normal circumstances, students would try each room, decide which generated the best return, and stick with it for the life of the game.

      But when Ariely tested the game and started to diminish the doors leading to the other rooms with each subsequent click, users behave totally nuts. Even if Ariely told them which room had the best yield, the students chose poorly when faced with fleeting opportunities.

      I think the next leg of this research has to get beyond just the cute experiments and find a way to profit (or limit our mistakes) from this predictable irrationality.

      High Oil Prices Dampen Dollar Sentiment - and BBQ Parties
      interesting about the eurozone prospects. something few are talking about is the fact that of all things, the Israeli shekel is one of the world's strongest currencies right now. To combat record high oil prices, Israel is focused on green/clean tech.

      Bank of America: Better Than Treasuries
      Dear SeekingAlpha editors:
      Come on! How can someone possibly say that BAC has a stronger balance sheet than the US government?? It's meaningless b/c the government can always print more money and misleading for investors.

      Sub-standard writing and sub-standard analysis. Who is this Cross Profit guy?

      I'm speaking with the CEO tomorrow. It seems like the deal was reinstated today. How's that for strong-arm negotiation tactics.
