    Screening ETFs By P/E Ratio is of Little Value to Investors [view article]
    Thanks for that discussion & pointer to Yahoo's P/E information.

    You argue that P/E values of ETF's are not an assurance of continued future growth as if that is something unique to ETF's. But the same lack of assurance applies to individual stocks - P/E's are useful as just one of the indicators one should look at. What is the difference?

    I fee the same. Name calling detracts from the credibility of the name caller. Geoff, nice to see an article with a simple point. Reply

    Update: We've added Roger Nusbaum's short article "Explore More Core" ( seekingalpha.com/artic... ) to the Further Reading section.

    It's short, and asks more questions than it answers, but it touches on a crucial issue: Should you build a portfolio with an All World ETF as the core, supplemented by perhaps one other instrument?

    What Will Trigger the Next Global Economic Crisis? [view article]
    An interesting story. My own feeling is that the dam may break in the Indian markets, another place where enthusiasm runs amuck but one where the government has considerably less control over how events proceed.

    The transparency we take for granted in the domestic American markets is absent in most of the rest of the world, and very few people appreciate what transparency in the markets does to risks.

    Doubtless some break in the dam is coming, although it's difficult to say whether it will happen next week or next year. But why would people flock to the inflating US dollar as a safe harbor of "quality", as opposed to gold? It seems to me that central banks the world over have been lax on keeping inflation at bay, choosing inflation and boiling the economic stew over stable currencies.

    I would expect to see a flight from paper currencies rather than a flight to the most profligate inflator of the bunch.

    Well, it's nice to know that the clock is ticking, and that the only propping up our market is denial. Once all the traders and investors that are buying stock (and taking companies private) suddenly have this epiphany, the whole lousy house of cards will collapse.

    Hey, check your calendar while you're updating your clock. Is it Kondratieff Winter?
