Re: REIT's Mutual Funds and ETF's ?

An ETF is an "Exchange Traded Fund" similar to a mutual fund but a fixed
block of holdings traded on a stock exchange just like shares of stock are
traded. I have noticed that there are some ETF's that look like REIT mutual
funds and the idea interests me but I want to learn more about them and I
hope some members of this newsgroup have some experience with these. And
most importantly, are willing to share their knowledge.
