  • A Guide to Agricultural and Industrial Commodity ETFs and ETNs [View article]
    This is a really good article that clearly explains the differences and issues with commodity related etf's and etn's. Anyone interested in purchasing these funds should use this as a springboard for further DD.

  • Can ETNs Survive? [View article]
    This is an excellent article, thank you. I stopped purchasing ETN's after Lehman. I also had the experience of ETN's not performing well- the macro $100 oil down and oil up products were terrible, for example. They hardly moved.
    Lots of the ETNs are terrible, because they are thinly traded. You would think a fund like "dogs of the dow" would have become popular with the kind of volatility we have been experiencing for the past year, but it is on death watch (see Ron Rowland's articles on SA for a list of etf's and etn's on death watch).
