A New Way for Investors to Sail the Seas [View article]
I'd agree with your assesment, but isn't that the point of an ETF? Allowing an investor to make a "sector bet", without having to decide, for example, if tanker companies relying on the spot market are "smarter" than those that rely on long term charters?
An ETF such as this would allow an investor to play a "macro" theme, (such as growing global trade), while possibly increasing portfolio performance by making judicious investments on individual securities. (For example, buying shares in tanker companies relying on spot markets, if one's analysis on conditions lead one to believe the spot market would be strong over the next 1-2 years).
Just sayin'....
