Ultrashort ETFs Can Work if You Trade Them Correctly

If holding for long term does not deliver, why not short them for the long term? In fact, short both the long and short to maintain a market neutral position.

Interest Rate Outlook: Canada

"For every 1% that the dollar weakens relative to the U.S. dollar, it costs approximately 1% more to make the same U.S. dollar denominated purchase (oil for example)"

Am I missing something here or is this just stating the obvious?

Lehman Brothers: Blame It On the Shorts

Is there REALLY a difference between shorts starting rumours and analyst's issuing buy recommendations?

ProShares Ultra and UltraShort Sector ETFs: Does 2 = 2?

Does this mean shorting each would have resulted in a net gain (net of interest for all except last two)?

Meredith Whitney Threatens Severe Deflation For Your Portfolio

Phil Davis writes "I'm going to ignore the personal attacks..."

Hey Phil, if you can't deal with personal attacks, you should stop making them.

"...and just clarify that I am currently long the financials"

Really? And here I thought you were just attacking Whitney because you didn't like her. What's she cost you and your pals? A few million in fees? If you had half a brain and actually tried to understand her analysis you would have done your clients a great service by lightening up on C. Now trying to maintain some sense of fiduciary duty by resorting to tabloid-like tactics only shows how pathetic you are.

Man up dude.
