[...] Look for ETFs with low expense ratios. Funds have expense ratios. Some funds have higher ratios than others. The same is true of ETFs.

I’d go for the ETF. You can sell it anytime and won’t have to undergo major losses due to sale restrictions.

to those mentioning trading fees regarding ETFs… just sign up with a brokerage like zecco where you get 10 free trades a month and that eliminates that problem.

ETFs are a solid way to go most of the time.
