Well, it’s been a couple of days, and really my stocks have gone nowhere. In fact, thanks to today, it seems like everything has gone down. It’s only the afternoon though, and it is a Friday. It seems to me that all Fridays just suck the prices down.
I know I said I wasn’t going to buy anymore stocks for a while, but I am thinking seriously about getting some ETFs. I want to get a few different ones, diversifying in sectors. I have one that is Real Estate but I want to examine other sectors as well.

The thing I like about all of these is that they each cover different sectors with different percentages of each area. This seems to be a well rounded set of ETFs. I just need to figure out how to divide up my money!
