Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: ("Don't Be Tempted by This ETF's Strong Performance", Right ! The Linkster is laughing all the way to the bank. I say to the author Alex Bryan, what the hell are you smoking ? Did you ever look at QQQ's 1 percentile performance ?)
All the flaws pointed out by Morning star are minor if you know that you are really buying the top 10 stocks/ in the index. Similarly you should not want to invest in the XLE unless you think prospects for Exxon , Chevron and Schlumberger are good.. Basically if you know what you own when you buy an ETF that's ok and if you don't know what you own you should not The only ETFs I would advise that you should not own unless you spend all day at a terminal are the leveraged ETFs but of course most visitors to this site know that.
