Listen to The ETF Store Show every Tuesday at 9am on ESPN 1510 as we cover everything you need to know about Exchange Traded Funds and the world of investing.
On our most recent radio broadcast, we discussed the ongoing ETF price war after iShares announced fee cuts on a number of ETFs. With Charles Schwab slashing fees across the board on their lineup of core ETFs and Vanguard finding new ways to cut ETF operating expenses in order lower investor fees even further, major ETF providers are racing to capture the rapidly growing number of ETF investors. We explained how innovation and competition is the natural evolution of this blossoming industry and how, at the end of the day, investors are the clear winners.
We also answered your questions on ETFs and investing including whether it’s better to buy physical gold or the gold ETFs and why you should never pay a mutual fund sales load. In our weekly market update, we talked more QE3 and when the Fed might begin seeing the fruits of their labor. Finally in our ETF Spotlight, we delved into a very interesting, quantitative-based ETF (ticker: PDP) that invests in US companies whose stock displays a stronger relative price performance and the ETF will also overweight the best performing of these stocks.
