Opinion & Analysis
Graphic_rating_buy An Airline   about PNCL   05/27/08
I had read about this a few months ago and have been watching it from 11 to now $6.5.  Insiders are buying at this price and in large amounts at market (an indicator I always like).  This reg...

Graphic_rating_buy Still like this, but maybe in a bubble   about DJP   05/15/08
I recently saw reports that Brazil had a reserve discovery of 40% and that the US has made a discovery in LA that adds 50% to our reserves.  Oil and commodities will hurt this pick if this starts

Graphic_rating_buy ETN for Commodities   about DJP   04/23/08
I do not understand how to value a commodity.  Supply/Demand, hedging, speculation, etc. are factors that determine a price or a commodity.  I do feel that the trend of commodity and agricul...

Graphic_rating_buy ETF for 20 years   about VWO   04/14/08

I would be cautious, but like the idea.

Re: China, Brazil, India, Russia, Malaysia? VWO has them all. 05/11/08
I agree. I like this ETF because of its exposure and low expense fees. It is a passive way to get exposure to China, HK, Brazil, etc. I feel that growth outside of the US will be greater in real terms on average over the next 20 years. This is also excellent for people unable to amass $2500 to $5000 to purchase shares in an emerging mkts index fund. Like Warren Buffet said in his lates...

Re: Minimum Amount to Start Investing 04/13/08
The use of extra capital is relevant to the rate at which it can be invested. A person with a $500 loan of 1% should not repay it if a rate of 6% can be had, provided they can cover the cash flow. I think that getreal is right with respect to costs of position. However, I do think that any amount invested is better than nothing. If one has 1000 to invest in ABC @ $20 a share and commiss...
