ETF Spreads Widen Substantially from a Year Ago

I usually split the spread. If I'm selling and the ETF is rising I place my ask under the current ask a little and let it perk for a few minutes.

Then, I choose to either re-ask a little lower to close or leave my ask where it is and check in a few hours. I never sell at the bid. Visa Versa when I'm buying.

This is not rocket science, Mathew.

Why are you advising people to accept the current bid/ask spread as if it were the LAW? You should be sharing (w/ a little more depth) how you go about bidding and asking within the spread, No?

You Wrote, "Oh my, Mr. Delong, you are a partisan leftist socialist, yes? "

And I write,

"Oh my, Purl Gurl, you are a partisan idiot, yes?

Not good to call people names. (Irony intended.)

An Oil-Driven Paradigm Shift?

Can we place our trust in the current (oil) leadership of the USA? Cheney forged an oil policy in cahoots w/ his oil brethren. He wanted ANWR, but never offered support of green energy as a GRAND compromise. If he had, we might have has a stronger green commitment alongside his ANWR and coastal oil fields.

Ever wonder why he never pitched this? Could be he sold the US out in favor of big oil.

Sorry. I'm getting way too cynical about him and George.

Back to 1998: Lessons from the G7 Then and Now

Greenspan's reputation is getting unraveled very quickly and it is not looking good for his leadership.

Question: Will the media reform and begin to truthfully investigate and question what is going on?

We have a leadership group which will live in history as having harmed our country (in so many ways) more than any external foe ever:

Bush, Cheney, Greenspan.
