We've seen a number of stories in recent months questioning the viability of the exchange traded fund (ETF) industry as funds close, while other ETFs are placed on "death watch."
One of the more recent stories was written by Ron Rowland at Seeking Alpha. He noted the he had 97 ETFs and 42 exchange traded notes (ETNs) on his list, which was put together by including ETFs that are at least six months old and have an average daily value traded of less than $100,000 at Decembers' end.
If more ETFs close, this isn't a bad thing. It's all about survival of the fittest.
ETFs aren't launched willy-nilly, however. Providers are careful in their construction...

Many finger the ratings agencies for a portion of our current problems, and to be sure, they deserve blame. Many of the recommendations call for eliminating the opinions of the ratings agencies from anything that might determine regulatory capital levels. Let the regulators do it themselves, instead.
That's a nice dream, or, for those in the insurance industry, a nightmare. The insurance industry survived such an institution, the NAIC Securities Valuation Office, and lived to tell of it.
It is said that if you can't get work as a credit analyst, go work for the rating agencies. They always need people, because the competent would never stay around due to low pay....

The other day I was doing a little research on East Japan Railway (OTCPK: EJPRY) and stumbled across something important that comes up every now and then that pertains to foreign investing.
The chart shows it. The ordinary shares traded locally in Japan are in black and in gold (or is that brown?) are the ADRs. The local shares are down 20% in the period charted yet the ADRs are only down 5%. The reason for the difference is the strength of the yen.
US investors received the benefit of the yen’s strength against the dollar whereas holders of the stock in Japan did not get the benefit of that currency move. I’ve touched on this effect in years past on my blog and...

While skeptics abound about the usefulness of triple ETFs for the long-term investor, I have been saying since early on that the Direxion triple ETFs would revolutionize day trading.
Now that their novelty has worn thin and traders have had an opportunity to experiment with various approaches to trading triple ETFs, these vehicles have become an integral part of the day trading scene, particularly on trend days.
Looking to capitalize on the appeal of these nuclear-tipped trading weapons, Direxion added six new triple ETFs last month. While interest in the new round of ETFs has so far been limited, I predict at least one of the triple ETF pairs has a bright future. My...
