      <title>Weekly Credit Summary: August 28</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Credit underperformed equities this week as single-name tighteners edged wideners by four-to-three leaving indices (especially HY) underperforming intrinsics in general. CONSumer and ENRG names underperformed as TMT and FINLs were best with INDUstrials mixed. Financials outperformed non-financials but the strength in the former was more at the tails of the distribution while the weakness in the latter was more broad-based.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3444436>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>2009 Commodity Fund Performance - Part I</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3244872</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[This is part one of a four part series this week that will look at the current crop of commodity ETFs, ETNs, and mutual funds, most of which sprung to life in the first half of 2008, prior to the financial market meltdown last fall.  First up are the index-based offerings where it's hard to tell which fund follows which index based on what appears in the gain/loss column in the table below since there is such a big disparity in how well funds follow the commodity index they're supposed to track. (Note: All year-to-date gains/losses are based on the May 22nd market close (last Friday) and the commodity offerings are listed in the order that they became<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3244872>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Political Mud Wrestling in Japan: Everyone Loses</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3100105</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Japanese politics since Junichiro Koizumi have been in a tailspin, with the mud wrestling between the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Democratic Party of Japan (DJP) creating political gridlock amidst one of the most serious recessions in postwar history. This gridlock is exacerbating the negative impact the global recession is already having on Japan's export-driven economy, which is being harder hit than North American and European economies. The unintended benefit is that it is undermining confidence in the Yen as a haven currency.   Between 2001 and 2005, Junichiro Koizumi changed the way that Japanese politics was played. Rather than being ruled by factional politics within the LDP, he spoke directly to the people, relying more on his image, ideas and popular support than on currying favor with party insiders. This gave him the independence that enabled him to pursue his structural-reform agenda even if it meant destroying his own LDP, which had<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3100105>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>ETF Deathwatch</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2928452</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[That is the title of an article from someone named Ron Rowland. The article has a spreadsheet of 139 ETFs and ETNs that might be in trouble due to very low dollar volume. Exchange traded products are obviously becoming more and more a part of the portfolio landscape, providers have created over 700 funds so far and I'm not even sure if a third of them are profitable.  It would be reasonable to wonder whether anything from X-shares will be around a year from now but I doubt anything, no matter how obscure, from iShares/iPath is going anywhere. According to the Deathwatch the Barclays Global product with the lowest dollar volume is the iPath Aluminum ETN (JJU) with only $6118 worth of shares traded per day. Anyone thinking they have some particular insight with aluminum can probably buy JJU with confidence about it lasting. That same type of insight about the biofuels ETN<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2928452>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If Robert Frost were still around today, perhaps as an economist or a banker, he would have probably been caught saying, “Money, money, everywhere, but no one wants to lend.” Yes, this has been the theme this year ever since the Fed began cutting rates and using alternative methods to thaw out the credit markets. America is literally printing money and handing it out, yet no one is happy with what they have and are refusing to lend. Banks are unwilling to issue credit and investors are scared to buy corporate paper, leaving only the government to step in to facilitate the smooth operations of both the American<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2928451>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>China will not save Western banks</title>

      <description><![CDATA[China will not save Western banks    The chairman of China’s largest sovereign wealth fund has said he “does not have the courage” to plough money into Wall Street and the City.    By Malcolm Moore in Shanghai Last Updated: 5:20PM GMT 04 Dec 2008    Lou Jiwei, the chairman and chief executive of the China Investment Corporation, a $200bn (&#163;135bn) fund, said China had no intention of “saving” the West from the financial crisis.    “Right now we do not have the courage to invest in financial institutions because we do not know what problems they may have,” said Mr Lou, at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in Hong Kong.    China’s disastrous investments in Blackstone, the private equity fund, Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, and Barclays Bank appear to have dulled the appetite for further gambles.    Mr Lou sank $3bn into Blackstone at $29.605 a share in<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2857849>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Comments On GTAA Model</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2661210</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Well, the market took a huge dump today. If you are following my model you are 80% in cash/bonds, and by the end of the day tomorrow (unless commodities rip back up), you will be 100% in cash and bonds.   I asked readers who utilize the model for their comments the other week in my &quot;Yawn&quot; post, and I have heard from everyone from little retail accounts to billion dollar hedge funds that have implemented the strategy. (And yes, I am still waiting on any thank-you bottles of nice tequilla...)  Here are some below (and if you haven't left a comment, do so now):  &quot;I'm following a 10-asset class, 130% GTAA model using leveraged funds based on Meb's white paper. I use a 4-week cycle instead of a monthly cycle. I'm currently 100% in bonds and cash. Took profits on DJP on 8/11/08 and on GSP on 9/08. Portfolio is +2.3% YTD and +4.1% YoY with a maximum drawdown of 4.7% measured on a weekly basis from peak to<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2661210>[More...]</a>]]></description>
