		<description><![CDATA[There are several factors that influence the decision of selecting an ETF for investment. Such factors include the past performance, holdings, sector exposure and concentration. Beyond these examples, expenses can also play an important role in the decision making process as well. The expense ratio of an asset fund refers to the total percentage of fund assets that are taken on a yearly basis to pay for administrative, management, advertising and all other costs that go into running an ETF. While these ratios are much smaller for ETFs than they are for mutual funds on average, investors should note that expenses still play a crucial role in determining the best fund in a segment. Furthermore, while many products may appear similar on the surface—with similar industry, holdings, and market cap ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While we do have some favorable-looking headlines out of Europe this morning, indicating that Greece is making progress in its talks with the private creditors, the focus today will be on the U.S. economy. The headlines on that count are on the weak side. In its first read on the fourth quarter of 2011, the commerce department reported that the U.S. economy expanded at a lower than expected 2.8% pace in the last quarter of 2011, up from the third quarter’s 1.8% growth rate.
