10 Common Myths About ETF Investing

The only problem here is one of reality. If you have many of of the ETFs over the past year and owned them beside an index on or around dividend distributions you will bet a sick feeling in your stomach. It appears that the GS firms of the world can creat and redeem "creation Units", at will and arbitrage out the extra cash that might otherwise go to investors. Also if you look at TLT, which is a treasury index you will find on their web site that only 55% of the income came from treasurys last year. Holders of these ETFs are exposing themselves to counter party risk. It is the new casino and you writers no nothing!

Bond Expert: Friday Wrap

I wish that the so called experts would at least aread the paper before writing. Why does nobody mention the treasury crack down on failure to deliver borrowed treasury securities? And the same goes for the manipulation at the futures pits, where it has become common knowledge that there will now be enforcement for failure to deliver. There is a short squeeze on and the 30 swap is enforcing it. I am a cash owner of a substantial portfolio of treasury securites and benefit, but had know idea that I could borrow some, sell them and never have to deliver. This is the kind of crap that cost the Bush types the election.

Can We Short the SEC?

Have you not read the SHO report? Who do you think is shorting? If I want to short my broker stops me dead in my tracks if the shares are not available. Don't you understand that a naked short to a prime broker is just like creating free money, which as Yogi says "is just as good as cash." Please make you public comments more carefully. I hate stupid, maybe we could adjust the SHO using the birth and death tables and it would be more in line with the Labor Report.

Bernanke Blames Saving Glut for Housing Bubble

Thank you! Thank you! The phrase "I'm from the government and here to help you" comes to mind. Here is a real idea; outsource the BLS to India, which will improve worker productivity. Then we could adjust the cost of food by the number of BLS employees who are not able to afford steak and that will be the end of inflation.
