Time For A Gold/Silver ETF
Does a rising ratio foretell a reversion? I can’t believe nobody’s done this before. I mean putting out a gold/silver ratio ETF. During the recent precious metals swoon, it would have been a real money maker. While gold and silver tumbled from their lofty heights over the past 3½ years, the ratio’s risen to near […]
EC Investors Make Up New Rules For Their New Market Paradigm
Investors in U.S. equities seem to have embraced a new market paradigm in which upside spikes come more swiftly than the downside selloffs. Remember when it used to be the other way around?

FeeX: The Robin Hood Of (Investment) Fees
Investment fees can literally suck hundreds of thousands of dollars out of your retirement accounts over your lifetime. What makes this even more aggravating is that as investors, we aren’t even aware of some of the fees we pay because fund managers have gone through such lengths to obfuscate them.

Is Bitcoin Set To Hit Canada?
