I wish I knew money enough to actually understand your comment, but here we are, both hating Elon and wanting him dealt with. Its beautiful really.

An ETF is an investment fund made up of stocks from different companies. A fund based on electric vehicle market could include Tesla, Chevrolet, Toyota, Ford, Kia and various other companies building EV parts like BASF or Northvolt for batteries or chargers.

The fund could be composed of, say, 30% Tesla, 10% Chevrolet, 10% Kia, 5% Ford, etc.

You can invest in the fund by purchasing parts, which then give you a return based on how many parts you bought and the performance of the stocks in the fund.

Does that make sense?

It does. Thanks. Maybe one day i'll ve able to put it to use... 😅

Also, ETF stands for "exchange-traded-fund". I like to know what the initial strand for

It is important. And in this case, it's even exactly what it says on the label. As long as you know what a fund and an exchange are.
