Deep Value Dividend Investor: I do think the financials are oversold and will rebound. However, they may go down before going up.

erik: You are correct. It shows that the “efficient markets” aren’t always efficient.

Best Wishes,

Most are selling at 15% discounts to NAV as 7/15/2008.<br/><br/>AOD is selling at 7% discount now, and 6 months ago it was selling at a 7% premium. Look at more closed end funds.

The sector seems oversold. Also, if problems continue the Fed may have to step in and provide more support. I like playing the financials through ETFs because of the diversification they offer. Who knows which bank stock will be the next to report bad news but the industry as a whole seems to be setting up for a rebound. I'm just not sure when.

In other words stocks that could get temporarily high dividends like BAC for example will have a higher weight than say JNJ, which is somewhat risky imho. I am a big fan of equal weight investing anyways though.<br/>Another thing that I don't like about certain dividend etf's is that you have almost no control as to what they own. My take is that if you wanted to track the high yielding aristocrats, you'd purchase them all and reinvest the dividends. You'd be selling only when a dividend is cut, right? Not, the SDY sells the dividend cutters at the end of the year, as the dividend index is rebalanced. The thing that really puts me off of SDY is that they weigh components based off dividend yield.
