ETFs for Beginning Investors

Recommdation

The information was very useful and true. I think ETF provides a great opportunity for young people to start investing. It provides the opportunity to spread their money. A smart way to invest in ETF is using dollar cost averaging. This helps the investor not to have to worry about having that $5000 at one shot but instead a specific amount each month.

Thanks for mentioning Zecco -- it does offer easiest entry point I could find.

Consider putting in a limit order to buy your ETF shares at a price below the current "ask". These things fluctuate all day. You might as well buy when the price hits a low point.
