Are the ETNs and ETFs really sure?
Can you lose money if the issuer fails?
Is the same if the issurer is a big bank (let's say Barclays) or any of the less known companies?
Is there any case of failure?
Thanks. ]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:05:55 -0400 I also asking me if:

Last closing price: 14.58
You get UNG at a net of 11.98 if in January price is under 16 (it is lower than the present historical price).

If your shres are called you will have a profit of $ 4.02 or a 33.5% over your investment (no commissions included).

I would greatly appreciate hearing opinions on this speculation.]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2009 10:55:18 -0400 Lowest UNG's price since this ETF begins: 12.69 (April 30, 2009).

It seems reasonable to assume that lower-income wage (with fewer people working with lower wages) and a heavy loss to the amount of personal assets will result in lower private consumption and consequently lower production and business investment. This means the same as saying lower non-public consumption.
Therefore the degree of recession or depression depends on the amount of public spending and the efficiency of such spending to stimulate consumption.
Since it is impossible to predict the actions of the Government and its effectiveness (other than the intention to inject big money into the economy) is impossible to be right on the intensity and duration of the current recession.
My personal feeling is that the recession will be deep and long because the injection of money is targeted mostly to Wall Street.

I agree with: “…treasuries can hold their value in exactly one scenario: a deflationary depression in which the dollar also stays valuable vs. other currencies” and with “I think unprecedented money supply expansion will kill deflation.” (I feel the same) .

But I can’t understand why “…TBT and PST will pay off.” If “deflationary depression in which the dollar also stays valuable vs. other currencies”.

Please can you make it clear to me. Thank you!

I understand that are a lot of different opinions or views about change in our times, but I’m afraid there is not a new paradigm (or a generally accepted new truth).
If there is a new paradigm in the way of investing (or related to investing techniques) please explain it.
I agree with Mr. Whidbey when he says “Modeling is easy to do, but in my experience it is hard follow to a portfolio result”.
And also that if there are: “2100 funds and only 17 showing positive results”, this means something.
In general I find the article very long and diffuse.

(CDSFF.PK) has a "minimal" financial impact on the gold giant, according to Blackmont Capital analyst Richard Gray. He wrote that the total value of the offer represents just 0.8% of Barrick's market cap, and that Cadence's estimated cash flow for 2009 would augment Barrick's by just 2%.

However, he still sees the logic in Barrick's takeover proposal.

In a note to clients, he wrote:

The significance of the world's largest gold company acquiring an oil/gas producer underscores the impact of the rising energy prices for miners and is a manoeuvre that we believe will become more common.

Mr. Gray maintained a "buy" rating on Barrick and a target of C$54.00 a share."

At 345 M they will pay near $19.50 per barrel. Is this a fair price?]]> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:54:41 -0400 ABX) C$354-million bid for Cadence Energy Ltd.
