Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) give you a low-cost, flexible alternative to mutual funds. Here are five ETFs we recommend and one to sell.
SPDR DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE ETF $176.32 (New York symbol DIA; buy or sell through brokers; www.spdrs.com) holds the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This ETF’s top holdings are Goldman Sachs, IBM, Home Depot, Travelers Cos., Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth, United Technologies, McDonald’s, 3M and Boeing. The fund’s expenses are about 0.17% of its assets, and it yields 2.4%. SPDR Dow Jones ETF is a buy.

That’s opposed to narrower indexes focused on, say, resources or themes such as solar power or biotech. Of course, you pay brokerage commissions to buy and sell these ETFs. But their low management fees give them a cost advantage over most mutual funds. Below we update our advice on all six—five buys and one we don’t recommend....
