  • Leveraged ETFs: Beware the Performance Conundrum [View article]
    In the short term , though , these vehicles do track and provide the exposure the investor wants. Long term , whether long or inverse ETF, the holder should be very cautious. These are not long term financial instruments.

  • The $60 Trillion Nightmare of Credit Default Swaps [View article]
    To cz : thanks .
    Seems unfair that the 'true" figure lent or awarded to/for banks is 20% less tha the passed bill/law(s) .... Im beginning to lose track of the number of programs out there and which ones are funded / started ??!!

  • The Perversion of American Capitalism [View article]
    Mr. Sanaullah, i agree with most of your premises , except that part about inflation . If we proceed on the present path , we will inevitably end up with deflation, as money becomes cheap, it will be hoarded, rather than lent/ borrowed. This should counter the inflation you refer to, and possibly the need to invest/ hide in precious metals.

    Mr. Jefferson:
    Id like to know what percentage of the $60T CDSs out there are naked. These are the ones that are troublesome since they are /were written without owning any security.
