In this episode we celebrate George's generosity and answer emails from Jeff, Kyle, Richard, Jamie and MyContactInfo.  We discuss ulcer indexes and where to find them, leveraged ETFs and rebalancing, tag GDE again, have a lengthy frolic and detour into commodities funds and how they work, and rant a little more about the financial services industry.
