My reasoning is that various countries' stock markets have done very well in the past, eg, the Japanese stock market did much better than ...

End of year distributions on ETFs Is there any advantage to buying or holding off on buying an ETF near the end of the year - taking into consideration any distributions? I believe any capital gains throughout the year are distributed back to the unit holders as taxable. Should one wait to purchase in January or is it ...

Apparently, ETFs don't attracty stamp duty, index funds do - what are the implications of this WITHIN an ISA or pension wrapper? Also, ETFs implicitly have all the dividend simply included in the price of the ETF - does this mean that the dividend avoids more standard dividend income tax payable within an ISA or pension on an index fund?

I was wondering what the ETF is holding to create a 1x or 2x inverse effect? Also, I read in a thread below that they have time decay - that suggests to me they're holding options. Would it make sense to buy puts on an ETF that I think is going down - would the inherent ETF time decay help the value of my put? Or is that baked in, like most things are?

A few weeks ago someone asked about QTAA and being long/short. Since its rainy today and nothing better to do, thought I'd look into it. Could easily find short ETFs for 4 of the catagories: SH for IVV, EFZ for EFA, PST for IEF, and SRS for IYR. Found short ETFs for individual commodities but none for the GSG index. Used the SMA 10 month like original paper. A curious thing ...

In addition, new or opening transactions in options ...

Maybe someone answered this before, but I've always read the problem owning ETFs that are short positions of sectors or whatever, but what's wrong with shorting these EFTS? Is it possible or you can't short a short ETF. Or any other consequence.

I feel we will see a rise in commodities with the falling dollar. What is the best way to invest without opening a futures trading account? Are there strong funds that are preforming on par with commodities prices? I think they are called ETFs. Thank you
