It feels like the boat has already been missed on most of the other alternatives. Every alternative I've looked into has been massively run up in the past two months. (Like dividend and/or European stocks.) For curiosity, I just checked Saab... up 61% over the past 70 days!

I am not familiar with these swap ETFs. They look interesting, but the fees on these seem quite steep, like 0.9%. Do you really save enough on the taxes on your dividends to justify that, or am I missing something?
