FWIW, I just use a dart board: I list all the ETFs, pick a random
number and zoom into the chosen ETF. Then I list other similar ETFs
and look at trade volume and costs, choosing one that's easy to trade
with low operating costs.
I started doing it a few years ago when the WSJ journal would compare
a random ****tfolio with the readers' and the former beat the latter
often, though not always. As I myself am a poor stock picker, the
dart board has worked much better for me than when I tried to research
to pick a stock.
