[QUOTE="CTJacket, post: 427625, member: 1635"] The one thing is unless you have a Vanguard or Fidelity account, I read somewhere recently (probably WSJ or Financial Times) that some brokerages are charging fees to hold their lower cost mutual funds. So there would be a slight advantage their to hold the ETF depending on the brokerage firm you use and their policy. I admit, I haven't tried to trade much outside of index funds even though I have an MS in Finance and my CFA. Our firm specializes in real estate and private equity so I'm more versed in those. Plus with more HF trading/black boxes/etc. it is more difficult. I basically follow [USER=2897]@bwelbo[/USER] 's strategy although I pepper in some stocks that I believe in from time to time. Plus the statistics back up that asset allocation and lower fees have a greater impact on your returns for most people unless you're consistently beating the market. I think a great book on investing is 'A Random Walk Down Wall Street' ([MEDIA=amazon]0393352242[/MEDIA]), it's updated every few years and includes very good strategies. [/QUOTE]
