What are the pros and cons of each.
Due to a corporate spinoff/acquisition, it looks like I may be able to roll my 401k out to a self directed IRA soon.
I've got a lazy portfolio of mutual funds right now... but am considering going to an ETF based version when I roll this money.
What are the pros and cons?
I know ETFs can be traded real time... but I'm doing the lazy portfolio, so COB is fine by me.
My mutual funds are all low expense ratios index funds.
I know this is probably a stupid question - but are the real advantages of ETFs over MF's - other than real time trading?
