ING Direct Streetwise Mutual Funds

Anyone here have one of these?

I have an ING direct savings account. I just recently got a flyer in the mail about this deal. Anyone actually buy into yet?

no, I have a Barclays iShare ETF fund. It is better then the streetwise for less $$. The streetwise fund is being compared to standard mutual funds, which it is not. BTW Barclays only charges around 140/year compared to the 200/yr ING charges. The payout is pretty much equal per year, so by saving 60 bucks a year that is 60 more a year in your pocket, and over the 35 years or so you are paying in, that can add up to a ton of extra cabbage for you to enjoy in your silver years.
