      The Family Foresight Thought Experiment
      Great post.... Benjamin Franklin did something like this over a 2 century period. His estate set up two funds to lend money to help apprentices start their own businesses at 5% over 10 years. Costs kept low by having volunteer administrators. Worked out well -- is the lesson to skip indirect channels -- e.g. financial markets?

      Real Estate [REIT] ETFs

      Should you add Cohen & Steers Global Realty Majors ETF (GRI) to the section entitled Broad International REIT Index ETFs? Also, it might help to have the date of the last update in the various sections of the ETF Selector so we know how current it is and don't make the mistake of assuming the lists are full representations of what's available.

      Another Housing Bubble to Short
      Larry MacDonald is an economist who has been writing about financial markets since 1995. A noncommittal statement would leave the author leeway to wiggle out of his or her advice. Don’t see how that applies here. If in a year or two from now Spanish stocks are higher in absolute terms (for aggressive risk accounts) or relative to US stocks (for less aggressive accounts), we will clearly be able to say he was wrong.

      To see how pairs trading can lower risk and increase the odds of a profit (albeit smaller), see the following links:

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
      “The pairs trade helps to hedge sector- and market-risk.”

      www.valuestockreports....
      “By using ETFs to construct pairs trades, a portion of specific risk can be hedged and the odds of profit can likely be increased.”

      VIX Call Options As Put Options
      ikkyu: See my Aug 20 post entitled "At Least Interest Rates Hikes Are Slowing Down" wherein the appendix has a note about selling the put options at breakeven. It was a bad trade to begin with but I was lucky enough to get out before the collapse.
