There's so much wrong with this comment...

ETFs are just a way of buying equity, not a market that can be overcrowded.

The 2008 meltdown happened because of subprime mortgages, the approximate opposite of conservative index fund investments.

ETFs are (in this context) just a convenient way of buying modest amounts of an index fund.

Index fund companies like Vanguard charge a very low, extremely reasonable commission for both direct purchases and ETFs.

Was about to say all of the same things... Guess MBA mention was just an appeal to authority.

Do feel better now?

Best of luck!
