3 ETFs That Could Build a Complete Investment Portfolio
Sometimes, the simplest solution is also a superior one.
Overview
Most investors understand the point of diversifying a portfolio of stocks is reducing your overall risk.

Not everybody has the time or inclination to pick or keep tabs on that many tickers.
Fortunately, there's a simple solution. That's exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, which are simply baskets of stocks bought and sold as a single unit. It's easy -- and instant -- diversification. You could be more than amply diversified with just three ETFs, in fact, without crimping any of your potential upside.
