Focusing on Futuristic Fuel
From the moment Prometheus stole fire from the gods and presented it to us, humanity has been concerned with how to fuel our need for energy. One contested, yet efficient and effective, energy source is nuclear power. Approximately 13% of the world’s energy needs currently are met by nuclear power plants, with leading users including […]
Sink Your Teeth Into Soybeans
You may be most familiar with soybeans as the snack, edamame, served at your favorite Japanese restaurant or as a dairy-free alternative to milk in your morning coffee. As a commodity, however, soybeans are ubiquitous in the American food supply. Soybeans appear as protein-rich flour in processed foods, vegetable oil and meal for animal feed. […]
ETF Talk: Will Commodities Start to Shine?
Commodities have had a volatile go of it in 2013. Yet the recent rebound in the global economy that, in part, led to the Fed’s decision to taper, means that commodities could be on the road to recovery in 2014. A commodities fund to keep an eye on for this possible future ascent is the […]
Triple X Bears in Japan
In the immortal words often attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, “What goes up must come down.” Japan has been one of the hottest markets of 2013, but at some point Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s policy of weakening the yen to spur economic growth in the country is likely to run its course and the Japanese […]
ETF Talk: Triple Down on Japan
Looking back at 2013, not many markets outside of the United States performed well throughout the year. However, thanks to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s aggressive yen-hedging policies, Japan has excelled and risen above the fray. A similarly aggressive way to capitalize on continued Japanese market gains is the Direxion Daily Japan Bull 3X Shares (JPNL). […]

ETF Talk: Seeking Big Opportunity in Japanese Small Caps
Earlier this year, I wrote about taking advantage of Abenomics and the Bank of Japan’s plan to create inflationary, yen-weakening pressures in the Japanese economy to spur exports and growth. One of this year’s many new exchange-traded funds (ETFs), WisdomTree Japan Hedged SmallCap Equity Fund (DXJS), plays right into that strategy. For that reason, I […]
ETF Talk: China’s Expanding Middle Class May Propel Profits
China’s population is not just expanding but is getting wealthier and more urban than at any time in its long history. Further, the Chinese government has an explicit policy to refocus its economy towards domestic consumption, rather than infrastructure investment. This expanding middle class is explicitly targeted by Global X China Consumer ETF (CHIQ). CHIQ […]
ETF Talk: When it Comes to China, Think Small
There’s a theory that small-cap funds outperform large-cap ones. One of the appeals for following this strategy in the U.S. market is an opportunity to beat institutional investors, such as mutual funds, which cannot invest in a small-capitalization company without making a public filing and disclosing the move to the rest of the investing world. […]
Wading into Wild, Wild East Investing
China represents a phenomenal investment opportunity because of the size of its domestic market and its economic development-driven growth. However, as an emerging-market economy, it leaves something to be desired in the rule of law and ethical transparency. These risks present something of a dilemma for an investor: how do you join in the bonanza […]
