TODAY'S BIG IDEA 9 of the Best ETFs to Own Forever Investing icon Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) is known for his legendary success and his long view investing style. As Buffett put it when asked how long he thinks about holding an investment, he replied, “Our favorite holding period is forever." It may sound crazy to invest and never think about selling, but if Buffett can do it, you can too. So where should you park your cash if you’re looking to buy and hold an exchange traded fund forever? Here are nine ETFs to buy. 1. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). One of the very first ETFs on Wall Street, SPY has tracked the S&P 500 index of the largest U.S. companies since 1993 and has gathered a staggering $280 billion or so in total assets. That puts SPY it in a class by itself, and proves it has staying power for a very long time. 2. Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (VTWO). Benchmarked to the Russell 2000 index, this $2 billion fund excludes the top 1,000 American companies and then builds its portfolio with the next 2,000 stocks in line. You’ll get smaller stocks with a bit more innovative potential than the mature names in the S&P 500. – Wayne Duggan Click here to continue.
