Over the course of the past 4 months or so, I have been writing a series of article for Seeking Alpha that I refer to as the ETF Monkey Focus series. Readers familiar with my work know that my focus is on using ETFs as tools to build low-cost, diversified portfolios. All of the ETFs that I have covered, and will cover, in this series, meet those criteria. Quite frankly, they are the best of the best. Here is a link to the introductory article for the series. In this article, I present helpful information concerning both the basic structure, as well as helpful common features, that I plan to put in each article.Here, in alphabetical article by symbol, are all ETFs on which I have at least commented to-date. Check back often, as new ETFs will be added as they are covered.
