I don't understand the last sentence. I am pretty sure ETF index funds have among the lowest fees out there.

Maybe he meant to include trading fees. If you are making monthly contributions to a mutual fund, you can usually figure out how to do that for free...monthly ETF trades are going to hit you up for a commission every time.

Go with the lowest fees. Vanguard usually can't be beat.

You are not diversified but that's probably the single best stock for long-term returns. Warren Buffett said that if he could put ALL his money into one stock it would be Wells Fargo. He recently added to his Wells Fargo holdings.

You don't know how much I regret not buying WFC in the teens (and/or American Express at $10) during the Sale of the Century crash!
