| The buyupside.com 21st Century Portfolio includes 13 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) representing six sectors and seven countries with potential for significant multi-year price appreciation. Exchange-traded funds make sense for investors who want diversification but do not want to select individual stocks. And most ETFs charge much lower annual expenses than comparable managed mutual funds - Vanguard Group ETFs charge very low fees. Most ETFs are very liquid, and you can buy and sell them in a brokerage account just like any individual stock. Caution: Many of the ETFs in the buyupside.com 21st Century Portfolio are at or near all-time highs, up many fold in the last few years. These high prices present a conundrum for investors - will the price upsides continue or will a significant price corrections or collapses occur? So before you buy any investment, check its price chart and evaluate
the investment according to your risk and reward tolerance. |
