WTF Is an ETF?

There are now over 6,000 ETFs on 60 exchanges and ETFs exist for everything from corporate bonds to gold bars to oil futures. Like the USB port or a gas pump, ETFs have basically standardized the entire universe of investing so that everything under the sun now trades like shares of Apple. But what, exactly is an ETF and why have they become so popular? Bloomberg explains in this short video.

For a beginner, this video can be confusing lol. In simple terms, an ETF (exchange traded fund) is a "basket of stocks." An ETF contains multiple companies, like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Walmart. Furthermore, an ETF can be bought and sold like an individual stock. Lastly, what makes ETFs so special? ETFs are special because they offer diversification (less risk) when compared to buying an individual stock.

With the ETF approved, institutions will need to buy Bitcoin for their ETF. There will be marked increase in demand, can i get in and still make profits? i have set aside $250k to get fully invested this year

[HectorSnipes]

With the approval of bitcoin ETFs, it's widely expected that the price of bitcoin will soar past $100k. I'd be remiss not to capitalize on this opportunity immediately. I'm eager to invest my $500k in cash savings, which currently languish in the face of inflation. However, I'm concerned: is it perhaps a bit late to maximize profits at this juncture?

I would love to DCA into ETFs for the next decades - if it goes up, fine. If it gets down, I'd opt to buy more Mutual you have better recommendations? I've got $250k ready money to invest and secure my future, I'm 31

basically an etf is a basket of stocka that reflect an index like nifty. they can be traded as stocks, their value fluctuates throughout the day and their expense ratio is lower thean a mutual funds.
mainly it gives you the diversification of an index while providing the flexibility of a stock.

Whatever you do always have a plan of what to expect but prepare for risks, understanding this one information saved me from losses I wasn’t prepared for, opened an investment portfolio and stories started coming in till I found the right way

[AlbertMakambi]

This was much easier to understand as compared to other videos

[karllewis]

It all just seems to me like everyone wants your hard earned cash for investment opportunities but the second you gain there are all kinds of risks to your gains ie: taxes fees etc then at the end of it all your left standing there with either a loss or small profit that’s not enough to change your life. Unless your born into it or the company itself reaps the bigger % off everyone’s investment

Heard someone say the best season for a financial breakthrough is now, especially with inflation running at a four-decade high. I have approximately $750k stagnant in my port_folio that needs growth. What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?

"What is an ETF. If an Index fund and a stock-" you lost me there bud

Like Billy Madison once said “I can understand 8 words in that book now.”

After watching so many videos in 3-4 days, the video start felt like an explanation to a kid xdd after half of the video, 1 sentence explained everything :D

[rondor]

love this explanation but what is security. is it like raw material or resource?

[rc....]

You pay for something but do not own it? Sounds like a scam.
