How to find underlying value of an Exchange Traded Fund? I have recently become interested in Exchange Traded Funds.

Anyone have anything good/bad to say about QLD and/or UYG ETFs (exchange traded funds)? ? Anyone have anything good/bad to say about QLD and/or UYG ETFs (exchange traded funds)? I am about to embark into the trading world and received some advise from a broker friend to buy into these two particular ETFs. I am still kind of learning all about ETFs in general, but have already made my decision to definitely go with them compared to stocks or mutual funds, based on my research. So now I am just trying to figure out where to plunk my money. I am high risk and willing to wait this out several years, perhaps even 5+. Also, I plan to use scottrade which is only $7/share and seems to have virtually no other fees, not even an account transfer, inactivity fee, or account withdrawal/termination, which is rare. Sorry for the long question, I know there are tons of stock/trading gurus out there who can share some pearls of wisdom about this in general, and if you specifically have any knowledge of these two ETFs, even better. Thanks in advance!

Would you rather be in a Vanguard index fund or an exchange-traded fund (ETF) duirng a major market sell-off? If many investors redeem/sell their shares at the same time, Vanguard will be forced to sell the stocks quickly, which can be detrimental to the fund itself. Fortunately, people are not allowed to short a open-ended mutual fund. The concern on ETFs is different. No one is forced to sell the underlying stocks. However, people may short the ETF hoping that it go down further to grab a quick huge profit. Worse, the SEC hasn't established an "up-tick rule" for ETFs. Therefore, people can short an ETF even on a down tick, which can tremendously accelerate a collapse of the market. How can the arbitrage keeps the price in line with the NAV during a major sell-off given that a big in-kind exchange is a slow complicated process? If you work with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC), what are you doing about it in terms of improving the regulations on ETFs to lower the chance of the next major market crash?

How are fees collected for ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds)? Someone asked this question on "Yahoo Answers" and the question is currently closed with an incorrect answer. The correct answer is as follows for the Diamonds (DIA) ETF. DIAMONDS holders receive each calendar month an amount corresponding to the amount of any cash dividends declared on the Portfolio Securities during the applicable period, net of fees and expenses associated with operation of the Trust, and taxes, if applicable. Because of such fees and expenses, the dividend yield for DIAMONDS is ordinarily less than that of the DJIA. Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding tax consequences associated with Trust dividends, as well as those associated with DIAMONDS sales or redemptions. http://www.secinfo.com/dsvrn.t1Ze.htm

What is the difference between an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) and a Closed End Fund? There has been talk in the press of upcoming actively managed ETF's. That seems to me to be a closed end fund.

The ETF is created, and the index is simultaneously created in such a manner as to be favorable for the ETF.
