The Best Way to Play the Social-Media Boom

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Chief Technology Officer Jeremy Phillips discusses topics across the investing world.

With daily reminders of Facebook and Twitter's importance, it was predictable that financial products would spring up to attempt to meet this demand. In the following two-minute video, Jeremy warns investors to stay away from a social-media ETF that is really social media in name only.
