A QQQ for gold An ETF for gold, the surging precious metal, is said to be working its way through the regulatory process and would be the first for a commodity. Both Turk and his backers and the World Gold Council, a London-based trade group, are working separately on a so-called QQQ for gold. The fund would be backed by real bullion and trade every second of the market day. The largest index asset managers of ETFs include Barclays Global Investor and State Street Global Advisors. cbs.marketwatch.com{1DAA54F6-52E0-42CF-B675-62246E1AC953}&siteid=yhoo

U.S. Economy: Productivity Gain Is Biggest Since 1950 quote.bloomberg.com You would never know productivity fell until you read one sentence buried about halfway down the page. <<<The measure of how much an employee generates for each hour worked rose 4.7 percent in 2002, almost twice the average gain of 2.5 percent from 1996 through 2000. For the quarter, productivity fell at a 0.2 percent annual rate, the first drop since 2001's second quarter, when the economy was in recession. >>> Later on, they refer to the decline as a "slowdown". <<<The fourth-quarter slowdown in productivity followed a 5.5 percent increase in the third quarter, when the economy was growing more than four times faster than at the end of the year. Economists had expected a 0.7 percent increase the quarter, based on the median of 63 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. >>>
