  • Another Macroshares Oil Arbitrage Opportunity

    (Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:28:02 -0400)

    Gary Lucido submits:

    Back in April I identified an opportunity arbitraging the MacroShares Up UCR and Down DCR shares. The Down shares were overpriced relative to a fairly equivalent investment in USO puts. That play paid off well for me as noted in my last blog post.

    However, now that the original up and down shares have terminated MacroShares has launched a new series with a higher termination trigger. The up shares (UOY) and down shares (DOY) just started trading yesterday and surprisingly the volume is fairly low compared to their recently expired siblings. I guess all the gamblers...

  • A Speculative Way to Play the Oil Bubble

    (Thu, 29 May 2008 23:06:00 -0400)

    Michael Filloon submits:

    They say the smart money is shorting oil. There is a lot of truth to that, but there is reasoning behind it. Much of the smart money people are talking about is long term investors, not many of the traders that are moving the commodity with "hot" money. What the smart money generally will do is make a small position at say $99 a barrel. When this is done, it is accomplished by adding to the ...

  • Perfect Oil Storm Brewing in the U.S.

    (Wed, 28 May 2008 07:45:04 -0400)

    Eric Fox submits:

    Everyone talks mercilessly about Peak Oil, but is it time to introduce the concept of Peak Demand? At least in the United States? The Federal Highway Administration [FHWA], a part of the United States Department of Transportation [DOT], released its monthly "Traffic Volume Trends" report last Friday.

    The report showed that estimated vehicle miles traveled [VMT] on all U.S. public roads for March 2008 fell 4.3 percent as compared with March 2007 travel. The report also said it was the first time March travel on public roads fell since 1979.

  • ETF Asset Flows Year-To-Date: Wow Is the Word

    (Sun, 25 May 2008 09:44:25 -0400)

    I always think ETF flows data is interesting, but the 2008 YTD flows really take the cake.

  • Crude Oil Going Parabolic: The Good News and Bad News

    (Sun, 25 May 2008 03:13:31 -0400)

    Kunal Vakil submits:

    I want to take a minute and discuss the oil futures situation. It seems that they continue to rise with no end in sight and that gas prices at the pump are destined to continue higher. Do you want the good news or the bad news first?

    Well, I'll start with the bad to get it out of the way. The crude oil futures contract looks like it is in the beginning phases of making a parabolic move of some sort. Even with all the chatter about a top in oil, structurally, it is still bullish and continues...

  • Time to Short Oil Due to Excessive Speculation? Think Again

    (Thu, 22 May 2008 08:42:12 -0400)

    Investor Sajal submits:

    It's weird how normal $100 plus oil suddenly seems. Oil has gone parabolic, and this chart from Bespoke Investments seems to suggest that things could be getting toppy.

    Speculators are not very popular right now. Futures trading in many commodities across the world has been banned. Numerous experts have spoken out that most of crude's price today is due to "speculation" and a "strong inflow of funds". Indeed, I came across this interesting article where an analyst was commenting on the rampant speculation in the oil space:

  • Caveat Emptor: Structured Retail Investment Products

    (Fri, 16 May 2008 04:55:48 -0400)

    Mark Hines, Investment Director, VesTopiaMark Hines submits:

    With the whirlwind of new structured retail investment products being introduced everyday (e.g. Ultra ProFunds, UltraShort PowerShares), it seems only inevitable that something is eventually going to blow up. For example, when MacroShares created its "Oil Up" and "Oil Down" (UCR) and (DCR) tradable shares back in 2006, I'm sure they thought it very unlikely that crude oil would be trading over $126 per barrel. And unfortunately for some unsuspecting investors, that unlikelihood may prove to be quite painful.


    According to MacroShares, UCR and DCR "allow...

  • DCR Net Asset Value Now at Zero

    (Thu, 08 May 2008 03:26:21 -0400)

    Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

    In early April, we pointed out the DCR/UCR trade to Bespoke readers, noting that if oil closed above $111 for three consecutive days, the two notes would hit termination at the end of the quarter at wherever their NAVs were trading. UCR is the "oil up" note and its NAV is calculated by dividing the price of oil by three. DCR is the "oil down" note and it is calculated by subtracting UCR's NAV from 40.

    Once oil closed above $111 for three days in a row (seems so...

  • DCR Trading at a 30,800% Premium to NAV!

    (Tue, 06 May 2008 07:47:16 -0400)

    By Jim Wiandt

    One thing Matt Hougan fails to note is that in the frenzied final days of DCR and UCR, assets have soared to nearly $1/2 billion!

  • Oil Macros Really Max Out

    (Tue, 06 May 2008 06:18:14 -0400)

    IndexUniverse submits:

    By Matthew Hougan

    The Macro's, of course, are the unusual oil ETFs that are issued in pairs and whose values are tied to one another. There is an "Up" oil fund (UCR) and a "Down" oil fund (DCR), and they work like a teeter-totter tied to the price of oil. When the price of oil rises (or falls), assets move from UCR to DCR (or vice-versa).

  • Energy, financial ETFs see high trading volume on Amex

    (Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:31:00 -0500)

  • ETF Investing: Natural-gas, energy ETFs ride oil surge to top-flight returns

    (Wed, 07 May 2008 19:31:00 -0500)

  • ETF Investing: Oil's surge taps out two funds linked to crude prices

    (Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:43:00 -0500)

  • Five energy ETFs you should sell now: Morningstar

    (Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:34:00 -0500)

    Sonya Morris, editor of the Morningstar ETF Investor newsletter, said that exchange-traded funds and notes that track specific niches are highly volatile investments that aren’t worth buying unless they are “compellingly cheap.” With that in mind, Morris issued sell recommendations on five energy plays.

  • Audio: Beware ETFs that are too tightly focused on one business

    (Thu, 21 Feb 2008 08:20:38 -0500)

    Sonya Morris, editor of the Morningstar ETF Investor newsletter, said that exchange-traded funds and notes that track specific niches are highly volatile investments that aren't worth buying unless they are "compellingly cheap" from a valuation standpoint. With that in mind, Morris issued sell recommendations on five energy plays as part of an interview in which she found many funds lacking, but few worth buying now.

  • ETF Investing: CORRECT: Uproar over pricing and performance hits new oil ETFs

    (Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:23:00 -0500)

    BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Exchange-traded funds and their investors may be straying well outside their comfort zones by wandering into complicated commodities and derivatives markets, judging by concerns swirling around new products designed to track oil prices.

  • Audio: Avoid new, oddball ETFs; they're a poor fit for most investors

    (Thu, 12 Apr 2007 08:10:21 -0500)

    Sonya Morris, editor of the Morningstar ETFInvestor newsletter, says that the new breed of exchange-traded issues focused on niche businesses, built around untested indexes, or constructed to be a trading vehicle in a specialty area probably should be avoided by most investors. In a radio interview with Chuck Jaffe, MarketWatch senior columnist, Morris found far more ETFs to sell than that she said are worth buying; one notable purchase recommendation was the Dow DIAMONDS Trust, which replicates the Dow Jones Industrials Average.

  • ETF Investing: Buyer beware as ETF strategies become more exotic

    (Sun, 08 Apr 2007 17:36:00 -0500)

    BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- The predictable backslapping at the exchange-traded fund industry's annual confab in Miami applauded another banner year for the fast-growing business, yet beneath this veneer some cracks are beginning to show.

    (Sun, 07 Jan 2007 21:07:00 -0500)

    BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Two exchange-traded fund providers are rolling out new ETFs designed to give individual investors mainstream access to commodities, but these specialized products are being released just when commodity prices are under heavy pressure.
