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.
The first ETF is a floating rate investment grade fund; Ron notes that category has not attracted much interest. It's worse than that, though; he lists Market Vectors ETF (FLTR) (an existing competitor) on his Dec ETF deathwatch.
The second is a short term treasury ETF. Even if you can get this with no brokerage commission, you're still paying the bid/ask spread and receiving less than half (0.4%) of what you could get at some FDIC-insured banks and some NCUA-insured credit unions.
