Four Reasons To Invest In ETFs – And Five ETFs To Get You Started Posted: 24 Sep 2010 03:27 AM PDT A mere 15 years ago, selecting the right exchange-traded fund (ETF) was no big challenge. That’s because the first ETF wasn’t introduced until 1993, and the second didn’t follow until 1995. Since then, however, the growth rate among these versatile investment vehicles has been exponential – so fast, in fact, that the monitoring firm Morningstar now tracks the performance of 854 ETFs, with new funds being added almost weekly.

U.S. Stock Market Breaks Support: No Evidence It’s More Than A Mild Pullback Posted: 23 Sep 2010 11:07 PM PDT For the last couple of weeks I have been warning that short and intermediate term technical indicators were suggesting that SPX would correct soon.
