Are you kidding? Explain the following assertions and then you may have some actual relevant answers to your post:
1) "ETFs are basically just glorified mutual funds". What do you mean by glorified? I don't get it.
2) "Mutual funds try to match the market". Uh, no. Mutual funds actually try to beat their index. That's their goal.
3) ETFs have a mer "slightly less" than mutual funds. Uh, no. They can be 10 times lower and more. Trading activity is not the only issue. There are trailer fees to advisors and a bunch of other administrative expenses associated with mutual funds.
4) Explain what you mean by "likely to cause a bubble". I'm very curious to know what shape this "bubble" will take.
5) "They rename their mutual funds ETFs". Uh, no. These are two different ways to invest. The closest mutual fund to an ETF is an index fund.
6) The "only real difference is that there are no front/back end fees associated with etfs". Uh, no. There are mutual funds without such fees. They're called no load. Look into it.
Please educate yourself before posting such nonsense.
