We're not the only country worried about a potential bubble pop- both in equities And real estate, with interest in savings accounts at a less-than-zero yield.
I have been in emerging markets in both income oriented and equity oriented ETFs for about a year. I have seen a dilution of quality and returns in the emerging markets arena due to their growing popularity. I feel that in the equity area emerging market ETFs are moving closer to the action of larger cap domestics.
While the yields of emerging market income ETFs have dropped a bit once again because of their popularity they still are- IMHO a solid income source and less risky than many of the sovereigns.
For equity ETFs I feel that a better opportunity may exist in frontier markets such as eastern Europe, Turkey, Mongolia, Sri Lanka and dozens of others. (thanks to Jon Springer for bringing Sri Lanka to my attention.)
I noticed the very low volume moving big stocks as well. I'm thinking that cash may be better than longs OR shorts at this point. Way too much noise and too little action.
Pensions & Investments has had articles on institutional moves to private placements, LPs and real estate but not a whole lot on straight equities.
If BB hints at a hold-back in the candy there could be a whopping big crunch.

DRich-
Re: Straddles on TSLA-
From what I see the stock would have to move at least $20 to guarantee a gain- Less of course if you nimbly close out the probable loser along the way. The Calls/Puts are limited in the "in/at the money" range right now.
No game for those with blood pressure issues or prone to fainting spells.

Sorry to hear you took a loss in RE. I always felt that you may buy high but over time you probably will come out OK.
I can look back and clearly see 20 Baggers that I let slip by-
So goes the battle.

Where did you ever dig that up? OUTSTANDING!
Her assets were few but significant, however her acumen left a result somewhat desired and not articulated clearly.

I have been in $FN since last Fall and believe it's YTD return of 12% ain't too shabby.
I am considering others as well. You all may agree.

I think some QQQ and SPX puts are in order.

"don't fight the fed", and TSLA is "don't fight the short squeeze"
You got that right, LT!
