Barclays’ VXX—Not as Short Term as You Think - Six Figure Investing
http://sixfigureinvesting.com/2012/06/barclays-vxx-not-as-short-term-as-you-think
Barclays’ VXX Not as Short Term as You Think. Updated: May 17th, 2016 Vance Harwood. In terms of assets Barclays’ S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN is among the leaders in volatility ETFs with around a billion dollars. Under management. I suspect it’s also one of the leaders in investor confusion. VIX futures come in monthly series that expire the 3. This is really misleading. The VIX index tracks the market’s expectation of 30-day volatility. It computes this using a weighted mix of options that are at...

Trading ETFs Without Getting Fleeced. Updated: Aug 21st, 2015 Vance Harwood. There are over 1600 ETFs. Right now, with more in registration.

However once we figure out what we want to buy, we often discover the fund we chose is lightly traded perhaps only hundreds of shares are traded on any given day. If someone was careless enough to enter a market order to sell 1000 shares the likely result would an average pri...

Guggenheim—yield with less interest rate risk? - Six Figure Investing
http://sixfigureinvesting.com/2011/07/guggenheim-yield-with-less-interest-rate-risk
Guggenheim yield with less interest rate risk? Updated: Mar 10th, 2013 Vance Harwood. If you are looking for low risk yields above 1.5% per year, there aren’t many attractive candidates. Stocks seem risky, and if you believe that interest rates are going to go up in the next couple of years then bonds look risky too. Which indicates how much a bond’s current value would change if interest rates changed by 1%. IEF’s duration is currently 8 according to Fidelity’s key statistics. So what’s the catch? Ex-Di...
