Why You Need to Be Careful With Leveraged ETFs

I wish that I read this a few months earlier. I had been trading in HGD.TO and making profits as gold price plunging to $750. It seems HGD.TO is in opposite direction with the HGU.TO, but recently, both were skewed downward and not in proportions even gold price went up to $850. Now, i shall just do day trade but watching the last 15 minutes of the trading days, it can be very volatile with up or down in big volume. I wondered where are the value gone in relation to the pro and short ETF?
Thank you.

Good Regulation Requires Good Regulators

In the case of Hollinger, the CEO just have a few months in prison and parole out of prison still as a millionaire because the parole broad said white crime did not hurt people. No wonder the stock market is just like a casino. Long term hold is no longer feasible as the old days. Free market survives with profit growth, fair share of the profit by the shareholders with transparency and monitored by regulators to gain public trust. May be GIC and real estate are still the best bet.

History Lesson and Bear Market Advice

It is scary to buy in a bear market, but if there is a smart Canadian leader, it may be the best time to buy up the auto manufacturing facilities in Ontario , Canada to start to build its own Canadian smart fuel efficient cars now. Very good time to buy and creat jobs for Canadian. Then our dollar will be at par with or better than the U.S. dollars in the near future. Leadership, leadership is to lead. Wake up Canada.

"Images of a Shrinking and Damaged Planet" and High Commodity Prices

North America is still the biggest consumer of oil because of the gas guzzling auto engines. A recent trip to Thailand, I can see a lot of small engine Mercedes and other high end auto with smaller engines.The looks are as good and saving gas. No wonder the big 3 are loosing out as they did not face the facts. What is a V12 or V8 doing this days.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
