EELV News and Press, Invesco S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility From 09/20/19

Over the past 30+ years since the introduction of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, investors have evolved from holding minimal positions in emerging markets funds to holding more substantial allocations. Additionally, the choice of investment options has evolved from broad-based emerging mar...

Musings Source: Chicken Little Okay, so it’s not that bad out there (though most of us received unpleasant brokerage reports for August 2019). Furthermore, the last 12 months have been an up-and-down affair with the S&P 500 currently sitting about where it startedȂ...

Musings July 2019 was another month that was hard to predict as the market held its breath for the Fed rate decision. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I again underperformed the S&P 500 (1.4% vs -0.8%), but this was my first month of splitting directions with the market in...

Musings Another month, another head snapping reversal. After the crowing of the "sell in May and go away crowd" (May 2019 S&P 500 returns of -5.2%), June was a barnburner with a 6.9% gain (and I'll bet none of the market timers who urged you to get out are apologizing for their terribl...

If developed markets crashed, could investors see a potential rally in emerging markets? While it’s an unlikely scenario, it’s not without precedent explains Hedgeye Macro analyst Darius Dale in the video below. You could go back to 2002 when China was first taki...

Musings More than any single topic, I get a LOT of comments on my articles about ideal portfolio size (the age old ‘concentration vs. diversification’ debate). This is especially true of my extensive ETF holdings (about 50% of my total assets) where I own small pieces of ...

Milestone This is my 50 th article for Seeking Alpha (my first submission was in July of 2015). What a ride it has been as I went from an unwieldy portfolio of 81 (!) different positions spread across 8 (!!) different strategies with sucker yields galore to my current portfolio with a l...
