CUT vs. WOOD: Timber ETFs Square Off [View article]
Geoff, thanks for the mention.
Bob, there are a bunch of products similar to Cambian out there. There are several that trade in Canada and a couple in Australia, I seem to remember one of the Aussie listed products going bust very recently. As much as I wish this were not true, most of these products don't really capture buying a bunch of timber land in NZ, Canada or Scandanavia.

Needn't be either/or is absolutely valid but does move further away from lazy.
It does not make sense to me that one ETF provider could have the best product for each sector. I would think that as an investor looks any sector (or any other themes) products from various providers they would find some from each provider. For example, just an example, maybe the best financial ETF is from iShares, the best telecom ETF from PowerShares and so on.
