That rate is just bank deposit. The new Wisdom tree ones will be in Govt or Corp bonds and probably yield 50 bps higher. It also seems like a great hedge against the US markets and for a pure safety issue. Especially when they get the HOng Kong and the Chinese Yuan etf's. Noone ever said the MBIA's and AMbacs would ever fail of course not. The next level would be to protect your money market accounts which are mostly invested in BAnk paper or muni paper for tax free money markets.reno14http://www.blogger.com/profile/15901296438447555138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-16230438791933520982008-02-11T14:08:00.000-05:002008-02-11T14:08:00.000-05:00What do you think about the costs of the Currency ETFs?<BR/><BR/>http://thefinancialwhiz.com/2007/06/12/the-expensive-truth-about-rydex-currencyshares-etfs/Shenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01519985991268471033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-73880688688319763182008-02-11T12:17:00.000-05:002008-02-11T12:17:00.000-05:00Wisdom tree is supposed to be coming out with Currency Money Market etf's Where they actually invest the money into Govt or corp bonds in the respective currencies.
