My top ETFs and mutual funds have high-quality holdings and low costs. As detailed in “Low-cost funds dupe investors”, there are few funds that have both good holdings and low costs.

Back in April there were several market pundits making the claim that the large cap S&P 500 (SPX) (SPY) and Dow (INDU) (DIA) indices would soon play catch up with the beaten up small cap Russell 2000 index (RUT) (IWM) and the technology-heavy NASDAQ composite (COMP) (IWM).
