Being thrifty in the market, you look for deals. EPS, P/E, P/B, and many other indicators let us know where some deals are, but those numbers don’t do much for most ETF’s.
They are graded on the performance of the fund, similar to mutual funds and index funds. So, what does being thrifty have to do with ETFs? Everything!
ETFs are a basket of stocks, bonds, or other investment vehicles, like REITS. These baskets typically have have a sector or investment strategy in mind. Take the Global X ETF, LIT. It’s a Lithium Battery and Technology ETF. The ETF is filled with what Global X thinks are the best plays in the market regarding Lithium, and places them all into one fund.
A nice feature of ETFs, if one stock isn’t performing well, it doesn’t mean the entire fund is performing the same. You are less exposed to drastic swings, and some ETFs even offer dividends. I LOVE dividends.
My largest ETF position so far is SPFF – Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF. Do your own due diligence on it, make sure it is right for your portfolio. I have it for the monthly dividends and the price action on the stock doesn’t appear to have too large of upswings or downswings. Just the way we like it! Boring!
The ETFs on the market offer a wide variety of investment strategies. Do some research to find some that are interesting to you. HERO is a fun ETF regarding the gaming and video game market. DRIV is an ETF for electric vehicles and FSD. Whatever you’re interested in, there is an ETF out there for you.
What is your favorite ETF to invest in?
