Focus on its price action and how well it matches with the S&P 500 Index. Before you invest in any stock, observe it for at least one week and do not put any money into it unless you probe it thoroughly and feel comfortable with it.

In the past few years, Exchange Traded Funds or what you call ETFs have become highly popular. ETF share can be traded like a stock with no uptick rule that can prevent you from shorting it. In addition to that an ETF gives you the diversification benefits of a mutual fund with less fees as compared to the mutual fund. ETFs are a much superior investment right now as compared to directly investing in stocks or mutual funds.

You can sell as share of a mutual fund until the close of the trading day whereas you can always buy or sell an ETF share just like a stock. You can think of ETFs as stock indexes as most of these ETFs have been designed in such a manner as to mimic a stock index or a sector index or a industry index.

Since an ETF is mimicing a specific index, it is much more broadly diversified as compared to an individual stock. So ETFs are not much affected by breaking news or other economic news as compared to individual stocks.
