Presidential Investments
July 15, 2008Dan Wiener, Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors
The debate over who, and which party, will next inhabit the White House is heating up. On Wall Street, those in the know can ignore the impact the election will have on investors. While there are plenty of reasons to focus on who you'll vote for in November, investing isn't one of them.

July 10, 2008
Tim Middleton, ETF Insider
Markets got slaughtered in June, with the S&P 500 Index tumbling 8.6% to bring its downfall over the last 12 months to a bone-chilling 16.4%.

The last time that happened, in the 1970s, the damage was even more extreme than it has been so far this time around.
So why am I uncorking champagne? Because ETF Insider, which celebrates its first birthday with this issue, has almost completely sidestepped this carnage. As you'll see in the model portfolio tables, our Income model portfolio, despite a heavy commitment to equities, remains in positive territory over the last 12 months.

The Hidden Risk of the Gold Rush
July 2, 2008Dan Wiener, Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors
