KenBob, nice answer. I eschew funds & ETFs except for special situations (emerging markets, non-Euro or non-Canadian foreign equities, etc.) but I still have lots of companies I want to fill in my portfolio so I see no need to go there anyway. For anyone who doesn't have the time or inclination to research & monitor, they're a good way to go.
