The 100 Best Exchange Traded ETFs You Can Buy 2012. (Peter Sander, Scott Bobo)


  The very fact one of the author's last name is "Bobo" should have been a warning, but optimist me took the bait anyway. While I can't say much of this book in terms of good financial advice (nor literary prose), it did give what it thought were a list of the best 100 ETF choices based on some pretty reasonable criteria, nice text-book introduction to ETFs, including transparent rationale. Be advised, though, the authors rationale for their ETF picks seemed to be geared only towards those who wish to go long on their positions, create a foundational investment for their portfolio, and hedge against risk.

I'd still recommend to anyone wanting to use ETFs more opportunistically, or anyone else wanting to get into ETFs to just cut to the chase by visiting the ETF Database:  http://etfdb.com/

The ETF database offers quick accessible information on ETFs including; definitions, functions, aim, and performance metrics.
