New???
TBT was launched more than 17 months ago on 5/1/2008.
TBF is a little newer but was launched 2 months ago on 8/20/09.

There might be some bad news feeds out there because this is the second time in about a week that various SA authors have "reported" a new ETF that was actually more than a year old.
