    Do ETF Investors Care About Expense Ratios? [view article]
    i'm "very" new to using any etf's, and though i don't know if it's really a valid reason, i tend to choose an etf with larger daily volumn; call me scared

    but i wouldn't mind reading pros and cons re whether a higher / lower daily volumn is important re an etf

    thanks!

    The key to selling ETF's is who hits the market first. If you hit the market first you can charge more, because you have a monopoly in your sector and you get the volume that people want when trading. I love Proshares ETF's and would only consider Rydex double ETF's in my taxable account, if I was going to hold it at least a year. Rydex doesn't have the daily volume to get in and out. If 401k's used ETF's the lower cost one would dominate, but most people who buy ETF's are traders. Reply

    I agree with everything said. I look closely at the expense ratios of ETFs, and I am tired of hearing that ETFs have low expense ratios for the various professionals who talk about ETFs. Many ETFs have equal or higher expense ratios than mutual funds. Reply

    Just another example of how the average investor remains clueless. I guess we can't expect most people to be smart enough to realize that if they pay 20% less for their investment products that its just as good as paying 20% less for a pair of shoes. In fact, its significantly more important to play less for investment products due to the insidious effect of small fee differences when compounded over time. Just look at the disaster the average American worker is headed towards due to the proliferation of 401k plans with 3%+ fees. The impact is truly ASTOUNDING. Reply

    Always enjoy your commentary David; wish there were more like you but this way you are special.

    Having worked in big business for over 30 years, I have to add that there is another piece to the puzzle. Lower infation benefits big business by supressing wages -- workers don't demand as much when CPI "data" is low. This is another one of those
    government / big business schemes that is a win/win for them and the rest of us suffer a reduced standard of living.

    I always like the Shadow Govt Stats stuff. Looking at the dark blue line, the obvious question is: When is 1980 coming again? That of course would be a major sell signal for commodities and TIPS. If economies buckle a more under the ongoing credit crunch, and if Emerging Markets really do care about taming inflation (a big If), the answer could be, "Soon!" Reply
