Bill, talk about needing to stick to what you know. Stop brooding!

======================

Tibix is the no load version with an er of .94%

The 6/08 Div was up over 15% (over 6/07)

Look again at the income growth of it's loaded cousin Tibax

As far as 'complaint' about short term return, this is 'you' being stuck in total return land.

Just compare Tibix  to most any Div Growth ETF.

In most cases it's a more diversified, less volatile superior product.

In fact, it's one year to date total return is very similar to caibx. 

Is tibix Advdx Lite?.:-) Actually, Caibx is Tibix Lite, as Tibix makes a great compliment to Caibx.....

=========================

I have been adding to Tibix regularly, and will eventually have my retirement portfolio constructed 65/35 Caibx/Tibix ............

Best,
