Don't Know What Stocks to Buy? Try an ETF Instead

For some people, researching stocks and buying shares of individual companies is fun-- and it can also be very profitable. But for others, figuring out what stocks to buy is confusing, and putting in the time researching companies just isn't going to happen.

If you don't want to be an active investor or aren't sure how to start when it comes to picking out individual stocks, you may want to opt for a simpler alternative instead: an Exchange Traded Fund, or ETF.
