Quality not Quantity- Large Cap Value ETFs

With so much information coming for everywhere, whom do you trust? Sheesh! Do you buy, sell or hold? What do you buy, sell or hold? Do you run for cover every time the market retreats 100 to 200 points, or do you just throw in the towel and go to high quality bonds. Well, you could lose lot of money in bonds also. Or, you could do like legendary investor Warren Buffet, buy value and stick with the investment as long as the value fundamentals of that investment stays constant over the next five years.

Natural Gas Unnatural Rise

I am reading lots of buzz all over the Internet on the rising prices in oil and natural gas assets and I am like here we go again. Yes, oil and gas stock are good investments but we are not running out of oil nor natural gas anytime soon. However, many investors are snapping up oil and gas ETFs like delicious hot pancakes. For example, the recent surge in investor demand for the US Natural Gas Fund , whose net assets has swelled 10 fold as investors snap up the shares, has almost caused the fund to temporarily shut down twice due to lack of shares to sell. There is no reason to load up on oil and natural gas stocks or ETF gas funds yet. Read the recent short term energy report from the Energy Information Administration - Official Energy Statistics from the US Government . The US Gov't is projecting lower demand and lower prices- a possible supply glut . Just in case you still believe that oil and gas stocks are the way to go, here are three natural gas ETFs that you may find inter...

The Borg economy

At any given moment during market hours, I am filled with feelings of dread about the US economic system, like its right on the precipice of disaster, and sometimes I feel like its like the fictional Borgs of Star-Trek- Exhibiting a "rapid adaptability to any situation or threat, with encounters characterized by matter of fact imperative 'resistance is futile'." Expecting a strong market rally today. WSJ Online before the bell gives a good synopsis of what to expect today. Commodities and oil will be up today after an overnight jump in oil and commodities prices overseas. Still convinced that the drivers behind the volatile commodities jumps are mostly related to huge institutional buying and selling- aka trading, and nothing to do with the cost of producing and selling the commodities. Still looking for a good entry point in our favorite fund the ProShares Technology Fund today. Will keep you posted on any new developments. 06/10/09 09:43 AM

Using State Power The Right Way

The Beginning of the End of the Populist Wave Macron won the French election stemming the populist political wave that was spreading around the globe. Populism is not in of itself a bad thing but left unchecked may not mesh well with the overall political goals of the state or the majority of the people! Macron There is one event that caught my attention during the French election though. It was how fast the French moved to shutdown damaging leaks and misinformation. When it was alleged that Macron's campaign was hacked, the French government moved rapidly to shutdown the site where the emails were posted and instituted a complete blackout and shutdown of any news or hint of news that would affect the outcome of their election. In the U.S. , the former president's actions were completely the opposite. After months and months of allowing leaks and web posts coming from Julian Assange, Russian agents and other foreign agents located in the U.S and abroad related to...
