    Personally, I would buy it. Of course, I am only dealing with virtual money. I can't be held liable for anything, but it does tend to be pretty close to the catagory: finance.yahoo.com/q/pm... Reply

    This article is very good for investors. Looks as if we should be in utilities, health care, and food stocks. Give us more like this one. Reply

    Bill (BILLB),

    I should have added that reasonable size is also determined by the investor's bit size. Someone who wants to put $10,000 into a position has different criteria than someone who wants to put $100,000 or $500,000 into a position.

    I certainly would not be willing to be more than 10% of a single day's trading, and would prefer to be closer to unobservable in the volumes.

    Personally, I like to see a rapidly moving tape for investments I make or make for others.

    For this screen I was more forgiving. I used the 1-minute charts and wanted to see all or most minutes with trading activity. I did it visually without a bright line test.

    There are many newer ETFs with interesting objectives, but with so little trading that you may wait too long for a limit buy to execute and maybe longer for your limit sell to execute. Market orders on thinly traded ETFs are not a good idea.

    It becomes a personal matter, but the best situations would allow you to exit whenever you please. You might also find unattractive Bid-Ask spreads in cases where trading is sporadic or limited.

    What figure is "reasonable" liquidity in your opinion? Reply

    “Seasoning”:

    A much longer list of funds would be generated if the three-year data requirement were modified to include index funds tracking indices that themselves have three-years of data.

    We believe that three years of “seasoning” is an important selection factor in a world with so many choices, but a new index fund following an established index with its own published history of three years or more can reasonably be seen as “seasoned” for three years.

    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
