What's an ETF?
Perhaps the population would be less swayed to socialism if we had fewer examples of socialism from our "Free Market Capitalists". -----fiddler dave

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jboogy', 'W')hat's an ETF?

Exchange traded fund.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mmasters', 'O')IH - Oil services diversified

Definitely the OIH holders. It's largest position is Transocean (RIG). That's my favorite oil company and it's really cheap on a forward p/e basis. But then again so is the entire group. It's second biggest position is Schlumberger (SLB).

Exchange Traded Fund. They're like stocks basically but allow you to participate in some traditionally non stock areas like commodities, foreign exchange, etc... There are also many that are diversified like mutual funds however they don't carry a lot of the burdens mutual funds do (can't sell interday, sometimes upfront money is associated, have to pay taxes on the funds activies, etc)
