    Big mutual fund families stink, with their stupid trade restricting hypocritical rules (while they themselves trade freely and hopelessly, as ever). Let them stay static where they are stuck in their self-created mud. I have shifted to ETF's long ago and will stay there, watching these dynasaurs die their slow death. Reply

    Couldn't agree more! All my cash is at Fidelity but I've gone from using mostly their funds to being entirely in ETFs. They need to get on board ASAP. Ignoring a market this size is lunacy. Reply

    If a short squeeze started to develop in an ETF, wouldn't an institutional invester simply deposit a large amount of money and "create" a large number of new shares? That should collapse the squeeze. Reply

    6 times outstanding shares? Wow.

    Those the buying and selling of these ETFs actually impact the price of the underlying index somehow? Does a short squeeze in the ETFs entail a short squeeze in all stocks represented by the ETF?

    Why You Shouldn't Own DIA, SPY or QQQQ [view article]
    That is a good point David. I think the general advice is very sound. But it is easy for someone to take the article at face value. Probably some small tweaks to the article will make the point clearly that liquidity is good, but fees are a very important consideration for the long-term investor. Thanks! Reply

    Jess, thanks for your comment. It illustrates an important point: when you're deciding on the ETFs to include in your portfolio, don't rely on the portfolio I put together when the Guide was originally written, as the ETF landscape is changing so fast.

    I hope that what readers will take away from "chapters" like this one is the principles: think about which indexes are the right ones to include, and go for the lowest cost and most liquid ETFs that track those indexes.

    This article is not up-to-date. I would suggest removing it from the ETF Investment Guide. The same advice exists in other related articles as well.

    The article state that one should prefer the less liquid IVV over the more liquid SPY because of the better expenses for long-term investing.
    As of 3/8/2008 this claim appears to be wrong.
    SPY 0.08
    IVV 0.09

    According to Yahoo! Finance.

    I'm afraid you're one round premature with the decoupling theory. The world economy is still structured enough around the US that the rest of the world, especially the EM countries, are not going to go skipping merrily down the path when the US trips over a rock. 2008 will be a recession year, both for the US and most of the world with it. But this round will lead to a structural change, where the rest of the world bulks up a network of trading relationships that don't depend so much on the US. It won't be a painless transition, but the end result will be a more resilient world economy, with the US a smaller part. Reply

    TDAmeritrade has available investment that used a number of ETF's and they are dependent on your range of objectives. Meaning projecting either the style or length of investing you wish to proceed with. They are called TDAX.

    Interesting but annoying. The name of any security should ALWAYS be accompanied by its ticker. This is true in spades for ETFs with their 20-syllable names. Reply
