Fast Moving ETFs - Last Week's Hottest (08-Nov-2009)

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:36:50 GMT

Each week, I like to publish the past week's hottest ETFs to share some new trends and niche ETFs out there and give investors some new investing/diversification ideas. Last week, emerging markets and commodities continued to show strength while the S&P500 ended with week with a respectable gain of 3.2%. I've made sure to include both some leveraged ETFs with their outsized gains (but take note of leveraged ETF risk of value destruction over time due to daily rebalancing) as well as non-leveraged traditional sector ETFs.[More...]

Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Strawn Hits Cover of National Magazine

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:11:00 GMT

Aug. 24--The Strawn High School Greyhounds are no stranger to making the news.
Winning two state titles -- and a pair of national crowns, to boot -- will generally garner you plenty of media attention.
