Why I Got Gold Wrong

Gold should be a part of everyone's diversified portfolio.
Correlation with the market is generally negative and also the way the US is printing money, gold is a great hedge.
Yes, it will go down after a crisis but over the long term, it will be more valuable as the dollar depreciates. Buy GLD and hold on for the ride.

New ETFs on India and Nasdaq Indexes - How Will They Fare?

It's unfair to compare performance in this market, esp for EPI which is out for just 6 months.
I think India is a great play for the long-term future and investors having a 3-5 year horizon will do well, just as in IFN.
I am bullish on India and if the elections next year bring back the Dr. Singh govt, things would really be bullish. Keep an eye out for this.
