With over 850 species, the genus Nomada is one of the largest genera in the entire family Apidae, and the largest genus of cleptoparasitic cuckoo bees.. They occur worldwide, and utilize many different types of bees as hosts, primarily the genus Andrena.
In an earlier article, I wrote about the iShares FTSE NAREIT Mortgage Fund ETF (NYSEARCA: REM) as a good way to generate income in an environment where interest rates are low, and yields on investment grade bonds are quite possibly at long-time lows.hile I initially thought that an ETF would be a more attractive investment because of the diversification, I found that the performance of REM significantly lagged the performance of both AGNC and NLY over all periods analyzed.
ETF stands for exchange traded funds. It is a portfolio of  stocks or bonds that is sold to investors on open exchanges. The  investor purchases these shares through a brâ¦oker. ETFs are often  inexpensive and are generally indexed to a particular published  benchmark. They are not mutual funds however. Unlike mutual funds,  when the investor buys a share in an ETF, the portfolio does not  change. The price of the ETF or net asset value (NAV) can be found  throughout the trading day.
