In this provocative 30-minute presentation, Independent ETF Expert and Financial Futurist Dave Nadig will discuss how ETFs have migrated from trustworthy to problematic in a few short years. In the current "YOLO" regulatory environment, the burden of avoiding the stinkers is firmly on you, so he'll cover where ETFs can provide world-class exposure—and where they can lead the unwary investor into traps of unexpected volatility, liquidity problems, and hidden fees.
