Tuesday, February 12, 2008 Dividend ETFs May Not be for the Average Investor In today's WSJ FundTrack, John Spence takes a closer look at ETFs that focus on companies that pay dividends and the effect of the subprime crisis on them. Spence reports that because these ETFs are heavily invested in financial stocks so the recent market turmoil has hit some of them hard.
