Have we missed out any ETFs here? Or any Seeking Alpha articles that are important to understanding them? If so, please leave a comment and let us know!
But what about the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund (SHV)? Isn't it just a very convenient and cheap way to buy short term Treasury notes that would actually make sense for a lot of people?
Richard, are you also opposed to ETFs versus a laddered portfolio for retail investors? The advantage of an ETF is that it's really easy to buy, can be margined in a margin account, and is easy to sell. And increasingly, it's easy to manage duration using the choice of fixed income ETFs now available.
Very interested to hear your thoughts on this. David
