Agree 100%. Until you have hundreds of thousands of dollars and a lot of understanding about the market, it's going to be a bad proposition for you to be making trades at $10/pop on stuff you don't really know about. ETFs do all the work for you.

Buying SPY is just like buying the S&P 500
Buying QQQQ is just like buying a bunch of tech stocks
Buying EWA is buying the Australian market
Buying VWO is buying emerging markets

You get the idea. Instant diversification in one trade.
