It closed Friday (8/7) at $24.89, its 50-day MA is $23.85 and its 200-day MA is $19.24, $5.65 or, even more importantly, a whopping 29% below its current NAV. A market correction could lead to a relatively large loss for this ETF. Its alpha is a slight 10, low for a technology fund, but I'd wait for the correction to happen before pushing cash to work.]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:55:31 -0400 I can't quite agree with your suggestion that IGN is an ETF to consider for a market correction.

The financial services industry thus far has acknowledged $300 billion in losses but the bottom has yet to be found. How does $1 trillion grab you? This mess will not begin (underlined) to fix itself until the real value of the American economy has been determined. In the process FNM and FRE should be placed into receivership, their management scoundrels fired and both GSEs dissected into manageable entities.

As for buy and hold, those of us in our sixties will find it challenging to await 2030 or whenever. IMHO cash, TIPS and very short duration foreign bond funds (PIMCO has one) are the safest places to be for at least the next several years.

The broken US political process just kicks the can down the road and lacks any semblance of a sane energy policy.
Meanwhile, XES is a great, low-cost way to invest in numerous oil-service stocks.
