Here's an article that talks about utilizing ETFs to go short. My colleague Timothy Sykes also discussed shorting in a recent piece of his own. Both of th...	June 28, 2008

The new Pixar film, Wall-E, opened today. While everyone expects it to be a hit, no one knows yet how big a hit it will ultimately be. Pixar, of course, is a major brand in computer-generated cartoons. Its major competition is DreamWorks Animation (NYSE: DWA). The latter's most recent hit, Kung Fu Panda, opened earlier this summer box-office season with a $60.2 million first-...	June 27, 2008

Serious Money: GM, GE, Gee Wiz!	Filed under: Rants and raves, General Electric (GE), General Motors (GM), Serious Money, Headline news, Stocks to BuyA recent Barron's had a cover story featuring General Motors (NYSE: GM) which I have been pondering for a while. Somehow the story did not get me all that excited despite the boldness of the headline reading "BUY GM." More attuned to the words that followed -- "GM is a risky bet" -- I wondered why they would not feature something with possibly equal potential and far less risk. ...	June 25, 2008

Google tops reputation survey	Filed under: Consumer experience, Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), General Electric (GE), Starbucks (SBUX)Reputation surveys are usually beauty contests based on consumers' vague feelings about companies that they know or do business with. That makes them relatively useless. Still, one poll has created news by putting Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) on top of its list. Whether that will translate into more profits or a better stock price is open to debate. The Harris Interactive Reputation Quotient poll...	June 23, 2008

New Wind Energy ETF Is Not Just Hot Air	I think the creators of (FAN), a brand new fund that is going to track the ISE Global Wind Energy Index, earned their 0.6% fee. Here’s why: Only 18 of the 52 stocks in the fund are available to North American retail investors without going over the counter, or paying for international data feeds. That liquidity and accessibility to these truly global investment securities is worth something, to many people. Now I’d say, I wish the fund didn’t have 4, of those 18, which are hard...
