      Assessing The Clean Energy ETF
      This is an interesting, original commentary, PBW as sort of a energy-sentiment index. There is a major volitility loss in that issue and it appears to be in consolidation.

      Nice Job! Right on the trend, wrong at both ends...

      Mark Hulbert should read your points.

      Falling Oil Prices Are Ultimately Positive For Stocks
      Greetings,

      I would not dispute the results of your findings, but rather the originality. Texts such as John Murphy's excellent "Intermarket Technical Analysis," written more that 15 years ago, describe such relationships in great detail.

      best wishes,
      john

      Utilizing ETF Puts: A Different Approach to Portfolio Protection
      Greetings.
      Your comments are worthwhile. It amazes me how "sophisticated&qu... investors still shy away form the use of options in portfolio design. The only two things that might be added to your treatment is that 1.) your intial portfolio selection would probably be altered if you were going to employ options and 2.) options are relatively "cheap" now, so postponing the hedge a few weeks or a month could prove expensive.

      With #1, you find yourself seeking volatility rather than shying away from it and concentrating one's portfolio rather than diversifying it. Adding options as an afterthought is not going to be nearly as effective as designing the portfolio for use with options.

      get a few thoughts...

      cheers,
      john
