Baring in mind its scarcity do u not think it will revive. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-276894 276894 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:42:59 -0400

Anyway ... There is some interesting information in this article. For instance, given all the hype and press that ETFs have received in the last few years, I had no idea that mutual fund assets ($12 trillion) still dwarfed ETF assets ($.6 trillion).

And I appreciated the size of the post. A lot of the contributors go on and on and don't say much--or worse, their content is just a big advertisement for their products or services. It's nice to see useful, "nuggetized" information without having to wade through a bunch of self-promotional dreck.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/77547-5-things-you-may-not-know-about-etfs-but-should?source=feed#comment-168918 168918 Fri, 16 May 2008 13:10:40 -0400
now, in re to # 2, "...It took 45 years for mutual funds to reach $600 billion in assets..." vs growth in etf's - i wonder how much of this was due to the rise of 401's, and the limited choices in most of those 401's (no etf's in many)

imagine how much actual u.s. treasuries might be in individual's hands if those were allowed to be purchased in all 401's ?

how would that chg the investing landscape?

Also, if I wanted large cap oil service company exposure, I would just buy SLB, BHI and HAL directly. Why choose an oil service ETF to get these guys?

I guess I don't get it.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-166026 166026 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:28:29 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-165942 165942 Sun, 11 May 2008 18:16:16 -0400 What's a good oil ETF?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-165924 165924 Sun, 11 May 2008 17:27:13 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-165860 165860 Sun, 11 May 2008 13:49:48 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-165802 165802 Sun, 11 May 2008 12:19:21 -0400 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/76678-choosing-the-best-industry-etfs?source=feed#comment-165707 165707 Sun, 11 May 2008 09:03:06 -0400
