Currency Trading: The Case for Exchange Traded Funds...

The New York Times on Sunday carried an interesting article that examines the case for investing in currency denominated "Exchange Traded Funds", also known as "ETFs".
This is another great example of how new investment instruments make it much easier for average investors... to invest in ETFs... to diversify their portfolios... or to hedge other investments.

Certainly, a "must read" article!

The New York Times on Sunday carried an interesting article about the changing face of the New York Stock Exchange.

In the old days, much of the trading activity took place on the floor of the exchange.

Fewer Floor Brokers, NY Times, November 3, 2008

Now, the exchange plans to significantly decrease floor space, after moving much trading online.
