FYI: There’s little question that ETFs have become mainstream. It’s nearly impossible to find a page of the Wall St. Journal or a segment of CNBC that doesn’t at least mention ETFs in passing. Whereas 10 years ago ETFs seemed like the investment vehicle for the cool kids, we’ve reached a kind of ETF ubiquity where even when we aren’t talking about ETFs, they become the shorthand by which the conversation happens.
But how does a grad student or blogger illustrate, say, the correlations between front-month oil, 20-year Treasuries and the stock market?
