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.
FYI: Investors poured cash into U.S.-based stock exchange-traded funds at the fastest pace on record this year, according to research firm Lipper. As of Christmas Eve, U.S. stock ETFs have seen more than $143 billion in inflows in 2014, surpassing last year’s record of $137 billion. And the week marked another milestone as well: total assets in U.S. ETFs surpassed $2 trillion for the first time ever.
