Have any of you tried buying and selling ETF funds? I have been looking at them as it would be nicer to buy a bunch of stocks at one time. The ETF accomplishes that goal.

Black rock have lots to chose from.
I was looking at the IYT fund iShares Transportation ETF
and the
ITA Fund iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF

Scottrade has lots of ETF's. I read a little about them but have forgotten. I don't think one should start trading anything they don't fully understand.

Some ETF's are inverse and can cause losses. Also, there was something else about they are limited about upper value, can't remember.

I'm also studying options. Also you can play indexes.

For now I have to stick with what I understand.
