(Exchange Traded Funds are similar to mutual funds, but they are traded like stocks). The iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) covers pretty much the entire stock market. Total return in the past year was 14.6%. Vanguard has a similar ETF (VTFR), with a similar return rate. The neat thing about ETFs is they're available for all kinds of stuff like gold (GLD), oil (USO), sugar (SGG), even livestock (COW). There are also "inverse" ETFs that let you bet against the market, though these are very risky and only for short-term investment. insert standard caveat emptor disclaimer <cite>captpackrat posted [p:904766895] in Stock sugg...
