mutual fund vs. etf. I'll assume there's room for both because they may serve different constituencies. Asset managers consisting of mutual fund families are in corporate 401's. Are etf's a choice that's available for 401 or USA corporate retirement account participants? I don't know. I suspect not.

Stock picking funds have hot and cold periods. A hotshot fund manager -- if there were one -- at LM could do wonders for drawing in money.

I don't understand etf's. I read SI boards, and my impression is that the posters use etf's as short-term trading vehicles. That's different from what people use equity mutual funds for. So I presume. Apparently mutual fund holders are becoming more and more short-term oriented also.
