ETF. The stock market is rigged (really). There's no way you can make more money on it than an ETF matched to the S&P/Dow. If anybody tells you otherwise, they're trying to get you to buy their shit.
If you bought apple 2 years ago you quadrupled your money. That's better than the S&P/Dow. But I agree that the bulk of your money should be in a low cost index fund. ETF's are great but also recently Fidelity has several index funds with a zero expense ratio and no minimum investment. FZROX, FNILX, FZIPX and FZILX are their symbols. Other guys might have similar funds but I have a fidelity account and know about them.
I would buy some stonks but im a broke college kid
