Case Study: Making Sense of Markets

Excellent, succinct clarification and explanation of counterbalacing relationships which freqently cause me to reach for the Advil bottle! Thanks much!

New derivatives-oversight legislation would give CFTC head Gary Gensler the power he's been seeking, to regulate commodity swaps and derivatives traded on foreign exchanges. It would have a particular effect on swaps investors such as the U.S. Natural Gas Fund (UNG), who bought swaps when it couldn't offer new shares.

Even to the degree they may offer issues to US investors?

How Do the S&P and Gold Correlate?

Mcheal:
Thank you. Agree w/ above. As for parallel regional ETFs, as Alpha&Omega mentioned, I would add EWA and EWZ. Look forward to further correlates.

Talking Investment Principles and ETF Strategies with Richard Kang

I absolutely agree w/ the previous commentary! The article was excellent and enjoyable. As an individual investor who is utilizing ETF's & individual equities (foriegn & domestic) exclusively, I have not seen a discussion which has better defined the role of various instruments, the alpha-beta continuum, a purer explanation of "risk", and redefined my view of ETF's and thier role, which rivals this informative piece. Thank you Richard.
