  8. Gold and silver ETFS (GLD & SLV) are NOT backed 100% by the metal they follow.

    Every Oz of physical metal in the vault has more than 100 ETFs with a claim to it.

    No problem unless prices spike very high and poeple demand delivery of the metal.

    The EFT contract will be terminated and you will loose out on future metal price rises.

  10. I only TRADE ETFs, not INVEST in them.
  11. In addition, how can trading cost is low while you have to pay the broker/commission fee everytime you trade?
  12. If ETFs is a passive investment, then what about index fund? Isn't ETFs supposed to be active because you can buy and sell the investment?? which is why it is called exchange-traded
  13. What is the difference between buying gold as a commodity and buying an ETF that follows gold?
  14. Thanks even as a foreigner easy to understand
  15. Really very good information about ETF.
  16. Thank you - I feel like I have learned something noteworthy here, unlike the countless pages of waffle you find in so-called self-help books.
  17. It looks from what you are saying that a -1 bearish correlation unleveraged ETF for the S&P eg (SH) would be safe to hold if the market droppes overall over months or years.  It's not made perfectly clear when you said at the end its best to stay away from bear ETF's
  18. do keep in mind that... if market trending sideways the leveraged will loose money also.
    it is designed for ups or downs, not sideways ;)
  19. you look very sickly
