  • Which ETF Markets Benefitted Most From Last Week's Global Rally? [View article]
    Vlada, a comment about data representation: when looking at relative performance in one point in time (a simple numeric vector) it doesn't make sense to present these is alphanumeric order on a very hard to read white text against bright green background. Instead the most logical representation of such data is a simple bar chart representing the magnitude of the percentages visually and clearly, ordered from highest to lowest. Thanks.

  • The 'Best' Way to Capture Foreign Exposure [View article]
    EWM and EWS have high correlation among themselves but relatively low correlation vs the SPY.

    I have wondered if this is because of the time (one day) difference between the markets, but when I switch from daily to weekly price change correlation (past 1 year) I still get low correlations vs the SPY:

    <blockquote>
    <code>
    Correlation vs SPY
    ----------------------
    Ticker: Daily Weekly
    EWS 0.62 0.65
    EWM 0.51 0.45
    </code>
    </blockquote>

    This data is based on closing prices (daily and weekly) over the past year (252 trading says). Correlation is simple linear correlation between two percent change series.
