Rio 2016: Using ETFs to Play Brazil's Olympic Win

I doubt any city in USA had a chance given the severe visa restrictions and the unpopularity of USA in many of the third world countries. I was surprised to read that Chicago was a front runner. With Rio in the running almost no other city had a chance.

Rio 2016: Using ETFs to Play Brazil's Olympic Win

You have listed five ETFs. Is there one fund that captures all of the components of the five ETFs?

ETF Screener: Defying Expectations

A very poorly written article. We should have a peer review system so useless articles don't end up being published.

Fund Frustration, Huffman-Style

As a former Hussman fund owner, I find that this article hits it right on the button. I made the mistake of expecting large return during a bull run and ending up with a measly 3% return over three years. I think there are less risky alternatives than buying into Hussman.

Citi Is a Dog: Go Long at Your Own Risk

Given the price of Citi stock, the risk of a small investment like 1000 shares or so is worth it. The payoff if Citi gets its act together will be huge.

Notes on a Scandal: High Dividend Investor's Survival Guide to This Unsustainable Rally

"An excellent article, except for the last paragraph:
I'm being perfectly serious. It's quite conceivable that shorting financials could again be banned, more one time profits manufactured, etc. Remember, when Wall Street and Washington band together, it's risky to get in their way. Who said life was fair?"

Can you really predict what the consequences would have been, it Washington had not interfered and rescued the banks and the auto companies? With a year away from retirement and my 401K down nearly 40%, I feel that the government (both Republican and Democrat) did the right thing.

Do You Believe Banks Are Recovering? (Part 2)

A good article; but can you please leave your right wing mentality and concentrate on the financial perspective? Granted that politics play a part in all financial matters; but this entire bailout is the creation of your right wing republicans.

Why BAC Will Beat: Understanding a New Bull Market Is Not Underway

Nice article and nice counter punch from informed commenters. For what it's worth, I bought C, BAC and WFC thinking it can only go up and they did. Ultimately you should be guided by your own analysis and also intuition. Good luck everyone.

Financials: The Dangers of Zero Weight

Mr. Nusbaum, I read and enjoy most of your articles. However, you could have suggested an ETF or two that investors like me could buy into. Having said that your article is right on the money.
