Listen to The ETF Store Show every Tuesday at 9am on ESPN 1510 as we cover everything you need to know about Exchange Traded Funds and the world of investing.
On our most recent radio broadcast, Christian Magoon, Founder of Magoon Capital, joined us to discuss a variety of ETF topics, including gold ETFs. Christian has been directly involved in the launch of over 40 Exchange Traded Funds and has been named one of the “Five People to Watch” in the U.S. ETF industry by Institutional Investor and an “ETF Pioneer” by Financial Planning magazine. Christian has provided his ETF insights on CNBC, Fox Business, and through numerous other media outlets and is publisher of the popular gold ETF website www.goldETFs.biz. On the show, Christian discussed the potential benefits that physically backed gold ETFs can provide to investors and we also chatted about a recent article titled “What Makes ETFs Desirable to Investors” that Christian published for NASDAQ.
In our weekly market update, we explained what’s been driving the recent weakness in the equity markets (hint: looming fiscal cliff) and offered some thoughts on how investors might position their portfolios given the current uncertain economic and political environment. In our weekly ETF spotlight segment, we examined a physically backed gold ETF (ticker IAU) and explained the role of gold in a well-diversified portfolio. Listen to the full show here.
