      ETF Market Makers Struggled Last Week
      That was a problem with NYSE Arca for many ETFs, that caused huge price discrepancies. It was an Arca problem and all the trades were cancelled.

      Why the S&P SmallCap Index Consistently Beats the Russell 2000
      This is a great post, one of the best I've seen on Seeking Alpha by far. I like the S&P system because it is fair to everyone and can't serve as the easy to riches scheme for a hedge fund manager who wants his clients to think he is carrying out much more complex schemes than simple arbitrage.

      Index Funds Consistently Outperforming Active Management
      I wonder if the poster above is a spokesman for the mutual fund industry. Hey high powered active fund managers have to feed their families too.

      ETFs and OEFs: Funds and Taxes
      Gold ETFs like GLD- you hold the actual gold. It is classified as a collectible and thus the tax rate is 40% something

      ETFs Furthest from Their 50-Day Moving Averages
      Tom- Don't worry, we will let this post off the hook because it is definitely not as useless as that poster who puts up ETF charts and tells us which way it will go just off the candlesticks...

      If you can go trade/invest on this or even use it in even the smallest way in your investing strategy for the long term, then I feel sorry for your performance numbers at the end of every month.

      Well it is obvious that Bespoke Investment Group is a con-artist firm that just wants to confuse people and throw useless statistics out there.

      Another Stupid ETF Story
      Just a question- do you spend that much time writing such dull articles as you are known for in the indexing industry?

      Update On Oil ETFs and Contango
      I think you are misrepresenting the sole purpose of the USO fund- to track the daily movements in the price of the front month NYMEX crude oil contract. Tracking on a day by day basis, which it does exceptionally well, does not mean that long term it will have perfect tracking to the price of spot crude, which also deviates in its own way from the price of the front month NYMEX crude contract. Take into account the rollover process from month to month, and what you have is a fund that is drastically different from the others. At the end of the day, the fund is great for short term investors looking to latch onto crude movements over the course of a day but other funds are better for long term oil "investing" (rather than speculating, although anything dealing with commodities can be classified as such)
