Matson Money Live! – The Myths of ETF Investing
(Recorded during the Matson Money Live! show on July 20, 2010.)
Jack Bogle says “I can’t help but likening the ETF to the renowned Purdey shotgun, supposedly the worlds best. It’s great for big game hunting. But it’s also excellent for suicide.”

Good segment guys. Absolutely loved the point about liquidity and tracking error. Keep in mind that many people are being bombarded with the news that many ETFs are commission free now. Even Bogle’s former employer has gotten on the bandwagon. “Vanguard offers commission-free ETF trades” – USATODAY.com It is important to note that not all asset categories are able to be traded commission free.
You are so right about style. The value ETFs are definitely not very value. As for the cost issue, check this article out. I refer to it from time to time on the radio. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB117803002196288190-lMyQjAxMDE3NzA4NzAwMzcwWj.html
