NRF has given my mother something to talk about for a while now. I've taken taxable accounts at Ameritrade
and Vanguard, consolidated them, and keep them updated in a Yahoo Finance portfolio. She keeps it as her
home page and doesn't have to log into two different accounts. She has made more money on PRC/MHR,
but of stocks she has just held, nothing comes close @ 242%. Her cost basis is 5.15, but after buying her
1400 shares it went under $3. Later sold 400 with a gain. She is currently getting 19% a year on her original
investment in dividends.

Too bad it is the big exception rather than the rule.

I'm sure there are people here who own ETFs. I would rather own individual stocks, but do own a CEF in
my IRA, UTG. Originally bought in my taxable account at the time of the Japanese nuclear / tsunami problems,
I added in my IRA last year when utilities went out of favor for a while.

Almost forgot, I also own a PA. municipal bond CEF in my taxable account.

I can see ETFs as a great place for those that don't want to, or can't take the time with individual stocks,
or those that want to work with part of their funds and set some other money aside in the market by itself.

Everything has a cost. ETF costs are minimal.
