  • Asset Allocation ETFs: Low Expenses Are Nice, Losing Less Money Is Nicer [View article]
    You call yourself "at the forefront," "astute," and an "expert" yet you also claim that ETF's are the "lowest cost possible" way invest in currencies?

    You might want to read up on that.

  • A Simple Momentum System for Beating the Market [View article]
    Puddi said: "Most such systems will make some money some of the time. If any system exists that makes good money all of the time, its inventor isn’t going to be writing a book about it."

    No trading system purports to make money all of the time. In fact, you can have less than 50% winning trades and can still make money. I suggest you read up on some basic trading theory.

    Ah, dude first chill and then look at his peer-reviewed published academic paper! This is one of the most documented, pervasive effects in finance and you guys act like Mr. Faber is some kinda snake-oil salesman!!

    Mebane, maybe these comments are an indicator as to why the momentum effect keeps on working....

  • ETFs Are the Easiest Option for Currency Exposure, For Now  [View article]
    I disagree. A good spot broker like Oanda is a much better way to gain exposure to even exotic currencies like the yuan or turkish lira. You can select your own leverage level, you receive daily credit (debit) on your carry trades, 24 access, and CFA certified.

    Just my 2 yen's worth
