A while back I pointed out that due to Apple's (AAPL) market capitalization, a large number of ETF's were massively over-weight the technology giant. In some cases, Apple represented more than 5%, 7% or even 10% of the total value of the ETF based on how many holdings the fund actually owns.
I recently came across an ETF that is not only overweight Apple by a massive amount, with maker of the iPhone representing more than 13%, but its top 5 companies (6 holdings since Google (GOOG)(GOOGL) has two stock classes) represent more than 37% of the fund, of which might I add has over 100 holdings. Furthermore though, what makes this so interesting is that the ETF I am talking about tracks a major index, which simply adds to the myth that the fund is helping investors diversify and is a safer way to invest.

Which currency is set to outperform? Is it the US Dollar or the Pound Sterling? Consider if you will that, despite some notable headwinds, the Fed is moving closer to a rate hike. For many, that suggests the Dollar as the best bet for the next 12 months. Especially with unemployment at 5.3% and core CPI now rebounding to 1.8% Year on Year. Yet some US data releases are still only "mildly" positive; for example gains in wages, slowed from 2.3% to just 2%.
On the other side of the Atlantic the Bank of England has signaled that it's warming up towards a rate hike, too. Yet, unlike in the US, gains in wages have been rising by 3.2% Year on Year. Moreover, GDP has been growing at a pace of 0.4% (QoQ) in Q1, far better than the negative figure posted by the US. So is the Sterling looking better than the Dollar? Not exactly. Then is the Dollar looking better than Sterling? The answer is, once again, not exactly. But here's the thing. Continue reading "Hedge Your Dollars With Pounds?"

Hello World Cup Portfolio fans, here's how things turned out in what was a very difficult trading environment in Q2.
But first, let's start off with some positive news. As you may know, we trade six different markets and out of those six markets we made profits in three of those six. The profits in corn, wheat and soybeans, while very good, were not enough to make up for the losses in the other three markets. The other three markets were, for the most part, in trading ranges and very choppy and difficult to trade for the entire quarter. The markets in question are crude oil, gold and to a lesser extent, the Dollar Index.
| PAST PERFORMANCE: | ||||||
| 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 |
| +501.6% | +48.5% | +35.3% | +186.7% | +57.6% | +77.1% | +135.8% |
Past performance in no guarantee of future performance. Losses can and do occur.
We have never had a losing year in the World Cup Portfolio. In Q1 of this year, we had a really good quarter with a gain of around 23%. In Q2 we gave it all back in extremely difficult and choppy trading conditions, which puts us flat on the year.
Let's take a look at which markets we made money in and which markets we lost money in, along with the reasons why. Continue reading "Make No Mistake About It, Q2 Was A Tough Quarter!"
