Asset Allocation and the All ETF Portfolio

I just returned from the ETF Summit in New York City. The cost for this seminar was $3,000. So you can bet only hege funds and "big money attended." I was struck by the number of ETFs that encouraged investors to use such products as hedge vehicles or ways to increase Alpha. From my own standpoint, the public is still a long way from understanding how to use ETFs in a declining market. I am not a practicing broker, but I was struck by the ETF with the symbol QID. It allows you to short the market in an IRA. It does this by using an inverse order. When you buy the QID, you are shorting the market. However, the most you can lose is the amount you invest. And you need not post additional margin. If any of you are interested in knowing more about the conference, I will post more.
Good luck in trading.
