    2nd reference to touch-screens today.... HP is coming out with touch-screen tablets in the next 18 months... If we can get better battery life, that would be a nice little setup... I'd buy one...

    Russ, thanks for catching this -- for some reason we'd omitted the Dow Jones Transportation Average Index Fund ETF (IYT). We've added it in now. Reply

    There don't seem to be any transportation ETFs listed. Is that because there simply aren't any? Reply

    Why is Google Missing From Most Internet ETFs? [view article]
    The lack of Internet ETFs may be due to the fact that "Internet" isn't really a sector (or a recognized sub-sector). The HOLDRs were an attempt to capture themes, and that's why they are somewhat arbitrary.

    For alternative ETFs to the HOLDRs, check out the full listing of <b>Technology ETFs</b>.

    See the comments there -- particularly on HOLDRs:
    <blockquote>Merr... Lynch HOLDRs are fixed baskets of stocks that become less and less representative of their sectors over time. The Internet HOLDRs ETF, for example, doesn't include Google.</blockquote...     Reply

    Why is Google Missing From Most Internet ETFs? [view article]
    The problem with Merrill Lynch HOLDRs is that they're not funds that are based on indexes that get updated. Rather, they're static baskets of stocks that go out of date. The Internet HOLDRs were launched before Google went public, and that's why it's excluded.

    Bottom line: HOLDRs have a lousy structure.

    Your positive comments about IAH might be misleading in this respect, because IAH is also a static basket of stocks that will also become unrepresentative of its sector in time.     Reply

    Hi Roger,

    Totally agree -- they certainly deserve a seat at the table. We've broken the sector ETFs into the following groups because there are so many of them:

    Global Sector ETFs
    etf.seekingalpha.com/a...

    Foreign Sector ETFs
    etf.seekingalpha.com/a...

    Primary US Sector ETFs
    etf.seekingalpha.com/a...

    Leveraged Sector ETFs
    etf.seekingalpha.com/a...

    And we're going to group them into individual sectors as well.

    Let me know your thoughts on the format we're using.
    Best,

    Hi all, I think the Rydex Equal Weight, Wisdom Tree Foreign, iShares S&amp;P Global all offer something unique to the groups above. The PowerShares sector funds, while mostly a slightly different mix of the same names also might have a seat at this table? Reply
