I like it. It seems like the amount of material you can cover in a 10 min video would result in a very long blog post. But I feel for you on the upload issue if satellite internet is like it was when I had it.

Roger, this was nicely done. Thank you for providing this quality content in both your blog/video format.

Shrink Rap, ya see, yesterday when I uploaded the ten minute kind we had clear skies and it only took 15 minutes to upload.

The first video was about half the size and took 30 minutes because it was raining. Man this is some fancy stuff!

thank you Leisa

Like those videos and the fact that you answer reader questions on video. Keep up the great work.

Roger,
Some interesting reading regarding commodities can be had at the PIMCO website under "Viewpoints" titled "Bob Greer discusses Ibbotson Associates study on strategic asset allocation and commodities." The whole report can be downloaded. My biggest takeaway from the report was that because of the lack of correlation between commodities and equities that a person wishing to construct a diversified porfolio could increase their exposure to equities and not see the corresponding increase in volatility that would normaly be expected. I was also surprised at some of the portfolio weightings.

Thanks
Carl

Well organized, delivered with clarity. Are there bad things about Sweden besides their personal income tax rates? I'm not well enough educated about the Scandanavian countries business climates. I think Nokia, Volvo and North Sea Oil (or perhaps dynamite) when I think about Finland, Sweden and Norway. Tom in Indy

Good job on the video. I have been using Dow Chemical as a negative correlation to my energy holdings, XOM and Peyto energy trust. IS this a legitimate way to balance risk through diversification of negatively correlated assets and still capture dividend income, or am I chasing my tail?

Video is excellent,blog on. You are helping me a lot in my unending investing education. I added 2% QID for the near term and even though it is down 7 % now, my net is still rising in an slightly
bull market.

H Roger
Great presentation and keep up the good work. Where canI find the correlation of AUD with commodities lke Iron ore, copper gold. Does the correlation vary widely month by month?
Thanks

Tom K said...

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions. BTW, I the video format is cool too. Nice job!

Roger Nusbaum said...

not sure how the AUD correlates to the commodities listed or how much the correlation fluctuates.

To my knowledge portfoliodscience.com does not have commodities. You may be able to find a stock that serves as a proxy for a particular commodity and use that to compare to FXA (the Aussie ETF which I own personally).

Roger,

No offense, but you are not a TV personality....

On top of that, I'd much rather read, than sit at watch/listen.

Many times I'm in a room with other poeple around, and I don't want them subjected to the noise of a video..

Love your stuff, just not a fan of the video.

Hi Random Roger,

Interesting video. How do you perform your trades? Do you use a broker or is online your thing. I am thinking of trying out the online trading scene. Maybe you could steer me in the right direction. Everywhere I go I see the big shots like ameritrade and etrade but I googled Online Trading and I came across a new site. Let me know what you think. i don't want to waste the little time I have to invest.
