getting big is not the issue, its what you invest in that does not have to do with shareholder growth and gains. they need to put more money in the very mining stocks that the ETF's see the gains from. they are acting as if expanding out is the way to go, not a chance that makes sense to ETF's shareholder value. they should be buying the physical metal they are based on, thats the hedge, thats the risk reduction. I am beginning to believe greed is setting in, and their profits are overshadowing shareholder gains.
