ProShares: An All Out Defense of Leveraged ETFs

I don't remember hearing much against the leveraged etfs when the bears were using them to drive down the prices of stock and run up the price of oil. Now, suddenly when there appears to be a recovery to normalcy, they (and who exactly are they?) want to limit access. Any trade that is available to a hedgefund should be available to an individual. Otherwise it's an unfair system.

EU's Intel Ruling: Any Real Benefits for AMD?

Are there any European companies we can fine to pay off our deficit? The only people who will profit from this are the European taxpayers. Surely we can fine the many European banks who hide tax evaders and take tarp money to pay their CEOs.

Dell Goes with Via for Ultra Energy Efficient Server

Dell needs to revive its advertising campaign and put itself back in the spotlight. The stock has really fallen into the low PEs, like around 8. Dell's a very good company and the stock is priced way too low.

Avoiding ETF Groupthink

Hopefully Americans will invest in their own companies and markets rather than in the ones who do little to improve our children's future.

Looking at Reflation and Stagnation Trades

As Americans move back into the stock market, they will buy brand names they like, many of which are Consumer Discretionary. Seeing as we don't produce much oil, I doubt they will want to invest there as much, especially now with the Obama administraton. And few investors invest in commodities in the first place.

Would TheStreet.com Be Worth More Without Jim Cramer?

Cramer has a huge following because of his tv program. And he mentions thestreet.com quite a bit. I'm sure they get alot of traffic because of Cramer, that otherwise they wouldn't get.

A Bull Market That Few Are Buying

The biggest mistake of all was made years ago by allowing commercial banks to become investment banks. Once you allow banks who are regulated by the government to trade in risky classes of investment products, then anyone could have foreseen the consequence of where we are today. And instead of holding these decision makers responsible and doing a proper investigation for possible fraud thereby at least removing them from their executive position, these same men are regarded as advisors to our most highly-elected office. If our government can investigate someone's sexual acts, you would think they could investigate the people who caused this demise of our stock markets and our economy.

Loss of Manufacturing Jobs Prevents Normal Recovery

What has our government done to stop these jobs from going overseas? This problem didn't occur yesterday. We have known about it for years. The sad fact of the matter, besides jobs and national security risks, is that we consumers lose our own rights to buy products made here. And with the costs of shipping, I haven't noticed any savings on anything. Just more risks for me with warning labels for lead and secret ingredients in the food we eat. Our government is a complete joke and I'm sure China is laughing all the way to the bank.

Gamestop: Will Shares Continue Falling or Rebound?

I have been wondering why the stock was dropping. Thanks for the article. The kids I know still want to go to their store here. And people still go to the Blockbuster store also. Sure people are cutting back in their unnecessary purchases in some parts of the USA. But that doesn't seem to be the case where I live. Ordering things on the internet is fine if you want to wait a few days, but for a few dollars more, you can have it for the weekend.

12 Notes on the Current Market Situation

If the shareholders took the time to do their job maybe the government wouldn't have to step in.

Ever More Unemployment

Financials Lead the Charge Higher

So what hurts the dollar the most... The government buying back it's own debt or people all over the world buying ETFs that short the USD?

The Ultimate Commodities ETF Guide

There should be some regulation in place to prevent commodity traders from driving up the price of fuel and food for everyone else. Of course it works both ways. If you think price control is important during a recession, then you can short all these ETFs.

Weekly ETF Rewind: Recipe for Rotation on Overboughts and Oversolds?

I really can't think of any reason to buy treasuries or the US dollar.

5 Reasons to Stick to ETFs

It would be great to know which stocks to buy before their price went up. It seems to me that by the time the media and advisors are recommending them, they have already had a good run. It is better to hold on to an ETF that gains a percent or two every week than a stock that does nothing. Just because you have a portfolio of good stocks that are diversified doesn't mean they are going to go up in value. You can see the returns of your stocks and your etfs on morningstar.com, and unless you are a very good stock picker, you may find that etfs were a better trade in this bear market bounce.
