ETF Market Trends: GDP Upside Surprise Ironically Gives Worry to Sustainable Recovery

Excellent analysis and a wealth of data to digest for investment purposes. Data is systematically organized and presented in comparable way. Synoptic coverage is highly remarkable, to say the least. Nary an aspect of investment world is left untreated.
The next question: Can this data be available on historical basis so one can see how an investment instrument has moved, and from which position, to where it is currently?
Any way, the author needs to be commended and congratulated on achieving a thorough, comprehensive and highly useful analytical presentation of current investment data.

Alternatives and Absolute Return with ETFs

Too messy a portfolio. Seems it is made just to impress a novice by including some currently fashionable sectors and including a complex array of etf's whose overall coherence is not explained or may not be explainable. As a challenging alternative, look at a simpler but highly effective vehicle like PRPFX (Permanent Portfolio). It already as a great record. The proposed hodge podge concoction, on the other hand, will certainly fail unless changed uncannily by correctly anticipating fast changing future events. Any thinking intellect can do better.
