ETF Stuff

ETF Trends dug up a news item that Claymore has filed for three narrow based China ETFs; one for technology, one for consumer (both staples and discretionary) and the most interesting (to me) filing is for infrastructure.

As has been the the case the whole way up from March people can spin all information available anyway they want to conclude what they want but the market has gone up regardless of anyone's conclusion. The other day Laszlo Byrini made a comment that I have made many times before (not sure who originated it) which is that the bear case is always more compelling and more articulate. I can't make a convincing bull argument. Ages ago (the end of 2008) I made the case for a big snapback rally based on the simple fact that no matt... Continue reading »
