Why to invest in ETF and not in mutual funds?

I myself started to invest in zero MF and was disappointed when I had to pay taxes on returns that I had not taken, as the fund had already gone down. However, I waited for 6 more months and sold the shares at the right time and made a 11% return. Wouldn't a ETF done the same thing? submitted by /u/WholeAd7305 [link] [comments]
