    Show-me:

    I know you trade ETF, and I think James tried to explain this to me before, but I am baffled as to why Q's don't match NDX, and the ultras are sometimes less than the straight... Any easy explanation?

    TIA

    ETF's are not balance exactly the same as the index they are mimicing. They may hold more or less of a individual stock and try to copy or mimic the index. Like the I fund is the EAFE but does not track it perfectly.

    Also, ETF's charge large fee's for the right to trade in and out like a stock. Well worth it IMO.

    Thanks, Show-me. One more question, when I check the quote of an ETF, there is one entry that says Ex. Dividend Date 9/24/30, next line Dividend Date 9/30/08. What do these mean?

    Thanks,

    The Important Dates of a Dividend
    There are four major dates in the process of a company paying dividends:



    • <LI itxtvisited="1">Declaration date– This is the date on which the board of directors announces to shareholders and the market as a whole that the company will pay a dividend. <LI itxtvisited="1">Ex-date or Ex-dividend date– On (or after) this date the security trades without its dividend. If you buy a dividend paying stock one day before the ex-dividend you will still get the dividend, but if you buy on the ex-dividend date, you won't get the dividend. Conversely, if you want to sell a stock and still receive a dividend that has been declared you need to sell on (or after) the ex-dividend day. The ex-date is the second business day before the date of record. <LI itxtvisited="1">Date of record– This is the date on which the company looks at its records to see who the shareholders of the company are. An investor must be listed as a holder of record to ensure the right of a dividend payout.
    • Date of payment (payable date) – This is the date the company mails out the dividend to the holder of record. This date is generally a week or more after the date of record so that the company has sufficient time to ensure that it accurately pays all those who are entitled.

    This bill must not pass.

    $700 Billion American Taxpayer Dollars to go to Foreigners!
    {New Video coming}
    9/30/2008

    That's correct, Brad Sherman (D-CA) was on Kudlow and explained to the world that the $700 Billion wasn't meant for the US, it was meant for foreign aid.


    Are you on the phones to your congressmen yet??? More will be coming shortly; just remember, use House.Gov and Senate.Gov to find your Congressmen and Senators...
    "Paulson and Bush threatened to veto the legislation if there was an explicit prohibition of transfers from foreign banks to an American subsidiary."
    THE ASSETS DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE AMERICAN MORTGAGE ASSETS - THEY CAN BE AN OFFICE TOWER IN SHANGHAI!

    YOU ARE GOING TO GET FLEECED FOR HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF THIS BILL PASSES - THAT MONEY IS GOING TO GO IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE COUNTRY!

    SEC. 112. COORDINATION WITH FOREIGN AUTHORITIES AND CENTRAL BANKS.
    The Secretary shall coordinate, as appropriate, with foreign financial authorities and central banks to work toward the establishment of similar programs by such authorities and central banks. To the extent that such foreign financial authorities or banks hold troubled assets as a result of extending financing to financial institutions that have failed or defaulted on such financing, such troubled assets qualify for purchase under section 101.

    People don't realize this is just the next step of turning this country into another socialist state, big brother contolling everything, housing, banking, wealth re-distribution, re-financing almost everyone groups retirement plan (that was in the failed bailout bill) and socialized medicine, just to name a few. And I'm sick and tired of the finger pointing that the Reps were the cause. the bailout vote only fell 12 votes short and 97 Dems voted against it, so everyone can take credit for the failure.

    Socialist supported the bailout as it was while, the rest of us wanted, for one thing, to punish those who got us in this mess, not put them in charge, plus we need to determine how we got in this mess before we rush out and throw more money at the problem. Some of us just want it done right and the track record of our politicians sure to heck doesn't give me any re-assurance that they can come up with the right solution, much less a a decent one in such a short period of time. Throwing money at a problem doesn't solve the problem, just look at education.

    Our children are going to be saddled with a tremendous debt load with a socialistic leader if the media and fellow libverals have their way. If this finanacial mess is so bad, then $700 Billion ain't going to come near solving the problem and Wall Street will be back for more handout. This is from Bill Gross of PIMCO, but common sense from just the pasr few months of throwing billions at this is enough for me and we're going to do it again.

    This is a game of poker and Wall street is playing it against a bunch of nimrods. Harry reid said that they were trying to craft a new bailout bill that will be acceptable to his fellow representatives, but NO mention of crafting one acceptable to main street... WTF is this... SOCIALISM.

    Regardless, of whether the bailout passes and one will pass, we are in for some rough times.

    Sorry Show-me for ranting here in your home and I'm starting to ramble. I'm just so frustrated I could spit nails.

    NO ON THE BAIL OUT! NO TO BAILING OUT FOREIGN BANKS! NO PRIVATIZED PROFITS AND SOCIALIZED LOSSES!

    Shut down any bail out of the financial sector or foreign banks. I do not approve of these policies and I will vote any incumbent out of office if you spend one dime of U.S. tax payer money to any foreign investors or Wall Street.

    Our nation has been feed the addictive "credit" drug and it is time to quit cold turkey. Our government can not operate without a deficit and the government should lead by example. NO MORE OPERATING ON CREDIT! Shut down the pork barrel spending, parks and recreation, and all non-essential operation. Implement a "FairTax" and shutter the IRS. Put our troops out of all conflicts, stop all foreign aid. NO MONEY LEAVES OUR SHORES.

    Our landfills are full of junk people did not need, but wanted and bought on credit. STOP THIS NOW!

    Just like the "economic stimulus" check you all sent out, the No Banker Left Behind bail out money will evaporate into thin air. DO NOT USE MY MONEY TO BUY BAD DEBT, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC, OR MY VOTE WILL BE LOUD AND CLEARLY AGAINST YOU.
