My best performing etf has been Vanguard Health Care (VHT).

For those wishing to gamble with some extra money, try Organovo (ONVO).

My retirement investments are in index funds, though not the specific ones recommended. Since millions of other people follow the same approach, every week huge dollar amounts of retirement funds pour into company stocks.

However, I admit to being a little uncomfortable that the stock index funds’ allocations are (automatically) proportional to the valuations of the underlying stocks. This is a wonderful approach IF the “rational markets” or “efficient markets” theory is accurate, so a stock’s price truly reflects its value. “Efficient markets” says, in effect, that every individual stock’s price is set by smart people who HAVE correctly judged the stock’s proper price by carefully studying the company, current trends, economic conditions, and so on and on and on. To the extent the theory is NOT accurate, index funds throw money blindly at both good and bad stocks in equal degree. Economists claiming the accuracy and the fallacy of efficient markets have both recently received the Nobel prize in economics, if that helps…. :lol:
