Hi Allen, ETF's are the safest way to go, and the industry sectors work well with AIM, the only problem is it will not give you international holdings. I'd also go with ETFs with zero commission. If you open a Vanguard account the ETFs are commission free, or in my case I have a Schwab account and they offer many commission free ETFs, though not industry sectors.

If you're not sure about the market you can divide the initial buys into say 3 or 4 spread out over a couple of months. That's what I tend to do.
