And yet, that is 10 or 15 years too long...

Other popular ETFs include QQQs, known as Cubes and based on the NASDAQ 100, and Diamonds, based...

On a yet larger scale, social behavior will also become more asynchronous, with all of us moving in much less lockstep rhythm and with more personal cadence than we do today. Our great-great-grandchildren will find it very odd that their ancestors commuted in traffic or huddled around a TV set at a particular time...
