There was an ETF information site the Jon Markman mentioned on the podcast. Can you please post a link to that site so that listeners can check it out. Thanks. As usual, a very interesting and informative podcast.

1. Lately, the guests’ voice volume have been a good bit lower than yours Andrew and it’s tough to understand them at times especially in the car. Don’t know if there’s anything you can do.
2. The 200% ETFs do not necessarily move in relation to each other. You MUST look at the NAV daily and look at the holdings and their weightings. For example:
DIG and DUG: you can’t just watch the price of oil. You need to look at the XLE and XOM. Why XOM? Because it is 23.61% weighting of the DIG. Where XOM goes so will DIG and Dug the opposite. Look at the charts and you’ll see. For the holdings/weighting checks Proshares site or Yahoo!Finance>ticker>holdings.
3. Maddoff is not the only ponzi scheme. So is the FIAT money system we’re in and the Fed that runs it. The banks who stunk up the world with bad trades get rewarded with trillions of taxpayer dollars. Oh, let’s not forget social security.
4. I can’t believe Markman said that it’s the rich that move the economy. That is absolutely ludicrous. The rich become rich off of the middle class that get up and go to work everyday, produce things of substance and service, and buy the things that make men rich. Many of the rich became rich or richer by issuing credit and loans to middle class and lower too that couldn’t afford them.
5. The Bush administration is just pumping, flooding the banks and financial system with money but there’s no production. They merely saved the banks that lend money to put the people in debt that actually do produce and manufacture things.
Obama’s infrastructure plan can’t be any worse and will help areas make improvements. I travel the US we have road, bridge, school, HVAC, & lighting improvements needed everywhere. These things are often put off or not done due to budget constraints until there’s a catastrophe. It’s more than light bulbs.
PS: I didn’t vote for Obama.

Good info… Thanks
