The Problems with Hedge Fund ETF QAI

I am amused that an otherwise intelligent article spends so much time/space and energy fussing about whether the investment vehicle is ETF in stead of being called ETFF. No different from the gazillion long/short funds that fell on their collective faces during the past six months. I see this fund as a good entry point for people who want to hold multiple bond ETFs but don't have as much cash and / or time to trade the individual bond funds embedded in this vehicle. May be INDEXIQ will read this critique constructively and act on the double dipping fee issue. I also do not understand the drum beat about inverse funds as horrible invenstment choices. All investments are 'choices' and as such require prudent vigilence. I made a fair amount of money last year in SKF and SDS and I am not a day trader ! One needs to keep an eye on them and shrewdly move out when needed.
