    Looking Inside the New Ben Graham ETN Baskets [view article]
    I do appreciate the commentary from everyone.

    Mr. Carson, I especially appreciate your commentary regarding some dividend paying ETNs. The unique features of some of these ETNs are certainly worth exploring. Thanks again!     Reply

    Just buy the S&P 500, this ETN will do no better than the overall index in my opinion Reply

    Rick...Excellent article about ETNs!

    Just to clarify, however, there actually ARE 4 ETN's which currently do(or are planning to) pay dividends. (You had mentioned that "ETNs don't pay dividends, interest or capital gains")

    The four ETNs which pay dividends are GCE (Goldman Sacks-Claymore CEF Index Linked ETN), BSR (BearLinx Alerian MPL Select ETN) ,PGD (Barclays Asian and Gulf Currency Revaluation ETN) and JEM (Barclays GEMS Index ETN).

    GCE invests in a basket of 75 discounted Closed-End Funds following a CEF Index selected by Claymore Securities (claymoresecurities.com). GCE's distribution rate is variable with the past three quarterly dividends being $1.66, $0.28 and $0.64.

    BSR is an energy infrastructure play which invests in fifty Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) which track the "Alerian MPL Select Index" (alerian.com). One unique feature of this ETN is its issuance of a 1099 at year end, rather than the K-1 Partnership tax reports normally associated with individual MLP holdings.

    Both PGD and JEM are currencies bundles pegged, to some extent, to the US Dollar, and were just recently brought to market by Barclays on June 18, 2008. PGD includes currencies of the Saudi Arabian riyal, Hong Kong dollar, United Arab Emirates dirham, Singaporean dollar and the Chinese yuan. The GEM bundle will include currency holdings from 15 Global Emerging Markets (hence the symbol, GEM) in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America an Asia. Both PGD and GEM will distribute interest earned on the locally earned currency deposits on a quarterly basis. The rates are yet to be determined. (ipathetn.com)     Reply

    Another posting blaming Bush-Cheney for 25+ years of a failed economic theory. I have a hint for you Ponca - Look up Milton Friedman, understand his role on influencing our economy and then tell me what political party this man belonged to. You have a lot to learn and should do so before shilling for a political party at an investor forum.

    The investors here are coming to conclusion that cheap abundant energy is the key to recovery and investing in American infrastructure.

    I did see two men advocating adding energy supply consistently as a theme since 2002. They were Bush and Cheney. These men indeed have failures into oversight of the Iraq war for example and failure to listen to learned economic pundit screeching the alarm in 2005+2006 on the Housing/Finance/Overle... issue.

    But ponder that the laws permitting intense leverage and other banking shenanigans were repealed by the Democratic party prevent banking abuse were repealed in 1999. Here's a link that will help: www.investopedia.com/a... . You can compare this rescinding of safeguards to 2002, and law called Sarbanes Oxley Act which passed in a Republican controlled house. Google that one too.

    These days, I see the House controlled by the Democratic party. The speaker of this party will not even allow an up or down vote on drilling but instead, Democrats voted there majority for a 5 week recess. Is this what you shill for? Doesn't sound very Democratic to me. Learn why you have become a sheep for the larger objectives of a political party. You'll be a lot safer in life this way. I am not voting McCain or Obama this year if that tells you anything.     Reply

    White House ordered forgery – Really Didn’t Need It:


    With all the propaganda Media – For the War of LIES – Bush-Cheney didn’t need any other forgeries – Just let the MEDIA – spread the LIES.

    Freedom of the PRESS – To lie all they want.

    Benjamin Franklin would be ever so proud.

    Or should of - just ask a mortgage appraiser – I KNOW they would of had NO PROBLEM – of forgoing it.

    Greedy crooks in Banks and Broker firms have wrapped a lot of subprime, ARMS, credit cards, car loans, etc. in structured finance vehicles i.e.: CDO-ABS-MBS-SIVs, they misled the market and bond insurers into buy them and now everyone is paying the price with losses. Reply

    3 comments with outright, unqualified praise but none mention the obvious - - could you write a little less ... this is a blog not a book.

    Fedex11 - - could not agree more. July was my best month all year.

    Jim Rogers says to avoid financials at all costs.

    Read some of his ideas at jimrogers-investments....

    Gold is correcting and maybe its a good buying opp.     Reply
