This is a link to the iShares S&P 100 (OEF) website.  This ETF holds the top 100 stocks, and it is probably the safest stock you can buy. During the July 1 to August 1, 2014 period when most indexes fell significantly due to a huge Dow loss of more than 300 points on July 31 and other smaller losses, OEF only declined a fraction of 1%.  The S&P 100 contains AAPL, XOM, MSFT, JNJ, PG, GE, BRK.B, and other quality companies.  So, you will get instant diversification among the strongest companies with OEF.  This will greatly limit your downside when stocks sell off, but you will still get a good return when the market advances.
