      ProShares UltraShort China ETF: Caveat Emptor!
      cynical: Proshares sometimes pays out very large, unannounced dividends. I held DDM for a while, and was floored when it dropped by a lot one day during an off market.

      It turns out they just payed out a dividend that day.

      Real Estate Brokers Must Hate Economists
      I wouldn't know how to start when selling a home, but I would rather buy a "for dummies" book and do it myself than pay some college dropout $20k for a little help with paperwork.

      Buy Bank Stocks for Your Kids
      Merryclicker: XLF and UYG pay similar dividends, and both funds track the same index. Indexes include dividends... don't they? Explain.

      Peak Oil: The Next 5 Years
      Kunst, everything I have heard suggests that we have enough coal and uranium for generations. Where have you read differently?

      Why buy XLF when you can buy UYG? It has twice the performance with only 1% expense.

      Peak Oil: The Next 5 Years
      Eventually, we will be driving plug-in hybrid cars day-to-day, and we will take electric trains for any long-distance trips.

      The transition may be hard, but the end result will be a cleaner and more peaceful world, because we won't rely on energy imports.

      Peak oil is good news for owners of power plants, coal, or uranium mines, and battery makers.

      The Most Bullish Sign I've Seen In Awhile
      An intelligent person would need more than two datapoints to draw a meaningful conclusion. What were cash levels in 2005? In 2002? In 1987?

      10 Reasons To Steer Clear Of Dollar Denominated Bonds
      My perpetually poor cousin, the one with a G.E.D. and who is always looking for the next get-rich-quick scheme, is talking about buying gold. If you're going to ride the gold bubble, be ready to jump off quickly!

      Is the Market Cheap? Does It Matter?
      For an investor, it most certainly does matter if the market is cheap. For a short-term trader, it does not matter.

      Not everyone here trades twenty times per day. Some of us are looking for good times to buy a stock and hold it until retirement. In the long run, it is better to buy a cheap stock than an expensive one, regardless of what happens next week or next month.

      IMF Gold Sales Prove Economists Aren't Great Money Managers
      For this analysis to make any sense, one must accept axiomatically that because gold has outperformed recently, it will continue to appreciate at an unusually high pace.

      I don't think this reasoning is logically sound. It may be right (we won't know for a while), but it is not logical.

      A Practical Demonstration of the Value of Portfolio Theory
      Ben Stein is the same guy who is promoting an anti-science, pro-creationism documentary ("Expelled")... He has no credibility as a thinker. I don't want anyone who thinks Genesis is a scientific text to come within fifty lightyears of my portfolio. Phil, you teamed up with the wrong shill.

      Microsoft + Yahoo = Real Competition for Google
      If MSFT uses their operating system monopoly to bring business to this new search/portal division, does that raise anti-trust issues in the US or Europe?

      McDermott International: Simply the Best in Infrastructure
      These guys don't pay a dividend. In questionable economic times, dividends are a requirement, in my opinion.

      Byron Wien's 5 Sure Things for a Turbulent Market
      I've never met any scientist who believes China's scientific ability rivals our own. Everything I've heard is that they are trying hard and failing to copy our models.

      At least they're trying. It's hard to believe a party as anti-science as the Republicans has ever gained power in a major country.

      One thing is for sure: Regardless of what happens to the price of oil, I'm buying a Chey Volt in 2010. I love the idea of only buying gas once per quarter!
