PIMCO’s Bill Gross has weighed in with his thoughts about where the economy is headed next. The U.S. markets, along with ETFs, may experience an easygoing first half, but the second half may be an entirely different story.

PIMCO Managing Director Bill Gross believes the first half of the year will be relatively strong, but he points to the second half as a period when investors will see poor economic growth and a Federal Reserve that won’t offer much relief, writes John Curran for Time.

As mentioned in the latest ETF statistics report, 136 new US-listed exchange-traded products launched in 2009: 127 ETFs and nine ETNs. The 56 closures produced a net increase of 80 for the year.

The table below lists all 136 sorted by the first day the product was listed and available for purchase. The first trade may be a later date in some cases as a few products do not have any first-day volume. Also, the so-called “inception date” for many ETFs is typically recorded as being a day or two before it actually becomes listed and available for purchase.
