They may contain a single investment type or be a mixture, including stocks, commodities, bonds, or currency. Some ETFs offer U.S.- only holdings, while other may include international securities. ETFs have low expense ratios and are generally less costly than buying the stocks individually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
