One of the best investing developments in recent years is the emergence and growth of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). They are opening up a whole new world for many investors.
An Exchange Traded Fund is a basket of securities, and it trades just like a single stock would. ETF’s are somewhat of a buzzword these days and there’s good reason why.
ETFs can be created to follow a broad market, an international market, an industry, or some other investing composition.

My name is Jason A. Martin and this is my investment blog. Back in Jr. High School I fell in love with an electrical wiring company's stock on Wall Street. After following the stock daily in the papers—the Internet wasn't around back then—I sent them a letter and they sent me back all sorts of wonderful information about their company.
In High School, we had a stock market contest. All the kids were picking companies that made stuff they consumed. When I announced my beloved company, I was laughed at. Little did they know that my company was going to be the subject of a takeover soon.
Long story short, I won the contest and have made money in the stock market, through real estate investing, currency trading and so forth.
I hope you enjoy Financial Rebel. If you do, please leave your comments and share this site with those you know.
