Summary of Using Exchange-Traded Funds Opportunistically

As we said, there’s plenty of money to be made from opportunistic investments in stock exchange-traded funds. As with a mutual fund, if you have an ETF you are taking an ownership stake in dozens or hundreds of underlying businesses. That means you are exposed to the market risks of the broader industry trends and economic forces that drive the ETF’s holdings.

This is why most smart investors focus on long-term economic and business fundamentals.
