Stock Market ETFs

Have you ever been confused or disappointed about the stock market's direction? Help is readily available on the internet nowadays so that you can understand what is going on for thousands of stocks. However, since Europe and the U.S. are both struggling with political and financial problems in 2011, the fundamentals of stocks do not matter as much as they formerly did. If the whole stock market goes down, it is currently taking good stocks with it.

The best way to invest in this scenario is by ETFs. These are exchange traded funds that hold underlying stocks or commodities like mutual funds, but they trade like stocks at any time of the day. GDX holds gold miners, and GLD tracks the price of gold. Hundreds of other ETFs involve all the other stocks. For example, ROM holds a lot of tech and internet stocks. One excellent website for analyzing ETFs is ETF Screen.com. This website shows you how over 800 ETFs are doing in relation to each other. So, you could essentially buy the strongest ETFs until they start to drop in the ratings.
