ETF Talk: Going Green Follow-Up
Record-high oil prices may be grabbing most of the headlines, but the bloodletting in the market during the past month or so hasn’t just been caused by oil. In my opinion, it’s the financial stocks that have taken us down this market wormhole, and today we saw more evidence that my thesis is indeed correct […]
ETF Talk: Socially Responsible Investing — Ixnay on Vice
One of the great parts of having money to invest is that each of us can pick and choose where to put it. I have noticed that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been rolled out that cater to investors who want to deploy their resources to help fund companies that offer socially responsible products and services. If you dislike supporting gambling, tobacco use, alcohol consumption and other good things, oh, I mean other vices; you can do so and still enjoy the benefits of ETFs […]
ETF Talk: The Rise of The Raj
So, what caused the sharp retreat in equities last week? As I’ve pointed out so many times during the past year, the culprit that keeps plaguing the overall market is the pernicious slide in financials. To see just how uncomfortable the slide in financials has been, take a peek at the chart below of the Financials Select Sector SPDR (XLF) […]

Preaching The ETF Gospel
I am going to come clean here and admit to you that I am not smart enough to predict the future. I suspect that no matter how smart one is, the future is not knowable because it just hasn’t happened yet. (I know, that sounds like something Yogi Berra would say). I know this may sound simple enough, but you’d be surprised how many self-proclaimed psychics there are working on Wall Street […]
ETF Talk: Actively Managed ETFs
After the worst first quarter in recent memory, stocks finally showed everyone that the bears hadn’t taken up permanent residence on Wall Street. Now in the wake of the admittedly very good performance we witnessed in April, many pundits have taken to asking if the credit and equity market crisis is now over […]
ETF Talk: Avoid the Tax Trap of Commodity ETFs
The decision has been rendered, and the Federal Reserve once again has cut the cost of capital. The central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered its benchmark fed funds rate by 25 basis points to 2%. The FOMC also took down the discount rate by 25 basis points […]
ETF Talk: A Big, Fiery Ball of Profits
In my opinion, we are at the beginning of a new wave of dividend cuts, especially from traditional dividend-paying sectors such as banks and other financial institutions. I really am bearish on banks right now, and for that matter any company that makes a living by loaning money […]
