Index Etf dislocation | Investing | Discussion forum

I'm worried if I buy a stock index or etf product something could go wrong like what happened to the corporate bond ones which required fed stimulus. Do they all trade at a premium or discount how do you know which is the most structurally sound. What if investors all pile out at once will there be a huge discount.

What are the most solid ones for investing in stocks? Is it better to buy a mutual fund index or exchange traded. What about non-registered do they spin off dividends and big capital gains taxes like mutuals. Are the CDN$ US stock ones currency hedged.

All the hype and component insider selling scares me. It's like a religion. I don't want them to freeze up. With all the confusing choices maybe it's better to buy plain vanilla common stock. Blackrock much criticised maybe the stock covers them all.

What are your top index and Etf picks.
