Bogle: Investors 'Getting Killed' in ETFs

Your opinion only. Some people do quite well trading, you're just not one of them. Certainly the average joe "investor" has no business trading anything.

I'm disappointed because I already know the basic info, which is all these guys ever provide. What I expect from authors on this site (and I hope it's not an unrealistic expectation) is some kind of added insight. I have no problem with anyone posting a graph or talking about events in the past, but if that's all there is to the article perhaps the title should be:

Financials Give Up Most of Bull Market Gains

What is the point of this article? You mean to tell me that financials are down? Oh, now I see it...without those red arrows I would be lost.

In the future, can you guys please supply a little analysis of the FUTURE price potential in the market? Your articles are jam packed with charts and tables, but these are things that people already know. I mean, you do this for a living correct?

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect you to tell me exactly what to buy and when, but what am I really supposed to get out of a chart showing me that financials are down? I'd love to start up an advisory service myself, and I've got this wild hunch that Einstein's theory of relativity might have some merit. Are there any physicists on this site who would be willing to pay me for that info?
