If Investors Are Dumping Stocks, Why Are ETFs So Hot ?
"ETFs, in contrast [to MFs], give investors the same kind of liquidity that they get by owning individual stocks — they can be sold at any time of the trading day [and without redemption periods/fees] — while providing the same kind of diversification that a mutual fund offers. And in most instances, they do it very, very cheaply."
