Why This ETF Is My No. 1 Recommendation for New Investors

New investor? Welcome to the market.

Of course, even if you've only been ready and able to take the plunge for a short time, you probably already realize there's no shortage of advice out there. Most of it is well-intended, and some of it may even qualify as "good." If any of it includes a recommendation for individual stocks as your foray into the investment arena, though, take a moment and give some serious consideration to another tip you've likely heard by now: to buy an index fund representing a broad slice of the market.

The index fund I'm going to recommend, however, isn't the fund I'm sure has come so highly recommended from other sources.
