Most investment recommendations you see on TV or on the internet are based on some type of catalyst. Somebody thinks you should buy or sell based on factors such as interest-rate changes, earnings, or macroeconomic conditions.
The reason I like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI) is that it doesn't need to worry about any of that. This exchange-traded fund (ETF) doesn't make sector rotations or adjustments based on the most recent market event. It simply invests in the entire U.S. stock market. Its investment case is built simply on allowing participation in the U.S. economic growth engine, not picking individual winners within it.
