ETF's

Im relatively new to the market and still learning. From what I've read and been told from close friends/family, ETF's would be a good investment for me. I am looking for long term. Wondering others thoughts, if they have an ETF's...and if there are any that are recommended?

Crus, an etf is essentially a mutual fund, only difference is that you can trade it intraday and you don't pay a fee for it.  Its a good way to buy a collection of stocks versus just one stock.  Its a good way to mitigate the risk of investing in just one stock versus say an industry/sector or collection of stocks.  I don't have a specific one to advise you on but you can get lists all over the web.  If there is a certail sector like Financials, Technology, Health Care etc., you feel good about start there you can find tons of ETFs for specific industries.  Your basically investing in a large group of stocks but your buying just one, each stock carries a certain weight, those with the highest weights dictate if the price will go up or down on the day.  

Here is something to help you in your selection.

thanks for the site louis
