In this case there is a slight difference. I agree that the US started the sub-prime mess, but we have not had a major bank run. In the case of country wide and the mortgage companies before that, these where not banking institutions. Northern Rock seems to be both. The conversation on the site has revolved around the need to most likely continue to keep these businesses separate, which happened under our Glass-Stegeal Act ]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 04:36:01 -0400

Our investors have been prepared for this correction for some time. I think the stats got a bit messed up in the translation from my site to seeking alpha. It is a bit more clear on my site. You will get a better sense of the on going conversation, if you review my site. Site aggregations, like seeking alpha, don't pick up all post. With a 13% cash weight, 4% weight in none correlated asset to the market, 4% mid cap, 15% EFA, 4% HYG and 60% large cap with growth bias, we are looking well prepared. Yes, we are starting to work money in the market. I think for the long term investor this will be a great time to work into certain sectors!]]> Thu, 16 Aug 2007 05:56:57 -0400 thecapitalinvestor.com, you'll get a better picture.

What I am trying to say, poorly enough, is that for a brief moment you are trading on pure short exposure with no interest build. It was distributed. Also, I think we may want to reword ex-date to ex-distribution. If you purchase on that date and hold through quarter by quarter, you will have built up a cushion of distributed interest or looked at another way your break even keeps getting better. Does this make better sense?

Roger, I appreciate your comments. I am a new hand at this, so your comments help my future articles. Also, you have a small fan here, as your blog inspired me to start my own. Call it Roger Wanna be. Keep up the good work!]]> Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:41:38 -0400

The tendancy for currencies attached to high rates to move up and those with low rates to move down. Given the divesification of currencies in (DBV), I believe this aids in lowering your exposure to a quick unwind in a "carry trade" for a particular currency. Is it possible that all three currencies could unwind at once, sure. Is it possible for the stock market to experience a 20% to 30% correction, yes. However, these events are rare. Accordingly, I believe this to be more of a long term strategy. If you look at the annual returns attached to a specific year in (DBV), you will see there where some real underperformance for long durations. I don't see this particular vehicle as a trading vehicle, but more of a strategy to grind out superior return over the long term. On a broader portflio perspective it fits the bill for diversification via both correlation and volitility to S&P 500. The ladder further lending weight to mute concerns of a quick carry trade unwind. Keeping in mind that past performance is no sure ticket for future performance. Also, I added the above piece of the quote, since I think it is important to be aware of the risk. I think for the average guy or a manager, who manages asset classes for particular portflio startegies, this is a good fit. Does this add a bit more clarity to my thinking process?]]> Wed, 16 May 2007 01:13:00 -0400 DBV) seems to be working.
