Investors are increasingly saying "sayonara" to the stodgy mutual funds that have been the foundation of retirement plans for decades. It doesn't look like it will be too long before the use of ETFs starts to SURPASS funds, as the money flow is shifting and there's going to be NO turning back.

USA Today has a list of the 15 most popular ETFs in investors' portfolios today, some of which are from mutual-fund giant Vanguard. Get the list below and see how many of these ETFs you already have in your own account!

There's been much ado about bonds these past few years, what with many countries' ratings in danger of dropping to "junk" or near-junk levels. 

But Mongolia is not one of those tired and broken countries that's struggling to stay afloat. Quite the contrary -- it's got a fresh slate and a new start, and its central bank expects it can raise $700 million before year-end from an international bond issue.

Mongolia's Tavan Tolgoi mining project is home to 6 billion metric tons of coking coal reserves. And with China's (and other emerging markets') need for infrastructure and, of course, steel, that means global interest in the Tavan Tolgioi project.

You know you've arrived as an emerging-market economy when an Exchange-Traded Fund is under development to help investors in other markets to trade your country. And so, it should come as no surprise that a Mongolian ETF is in the works thanks to Van Eck, which has created a number of emerging-market trading vehicles.

Mongolia's largest coking coal exporter, Mongolian Mining Corp. (975:HK), is close to closing a $465 million dollar deal to buy the QGX coking coal mine from Kerry Holdings Ltd., which is adjacent to a mine already owned by Mongolian Mining.

The Ulanbataar-based company expects to ramp up production to 15 million metric tons per year by 2013 to meet growing demand from China's steelmakers.

When Exchange-Traded Funds landed on the investment scene about a decade ago, they were alluring in that they looked to be a sexier form of mutual funds. Well, today, the ETF marketplace is exploding and this flexible investment offers tons of benefits that leave their mutual fund predecessors in the dust ... they cost less, you can short them, you can trade options on them, and you can find inverse or leveraged ones and trade them all day and night, if you want. Try doing that with your stodgy mutual funds!

The forecast for the foreseeable future is “cloudy.” And the silver lining in those clouds is that investors are going to be just as happy as consumers in this forecast!

Imagine a shoe box sized fuel cell in your house that creates all the power your house needs ... PLUS your plug-in hybrid vehicle needs.

Now imagine that it only costs $25 a month for the natural gas that powers it. Or even less if you buy a solar panel that creates hydrogen from the sun!

Visualant ($VSUL) has just completed its acquisition of Seattle-based R&D laboratory RATLab LLC.

RatLabs created Visualant's Spectral Pattern Matching (SPM) technology, and you may recognize RATLab founder's name, Tom Furness, as both the grandfather of virtual reality as well as Visualant's senior scientific adviser and SPM co-creator.

The hundreds of improvements in its software ecosystem-big and small-that Apple announced Monday could, in the long run, sell more devices, convert more customers, and make more money for the company than the new iPhone some were apparently still expecting Steve Jobs to pull out of his sleeve.
