We have 23-24K in an AXA Equitable Tax Sheltered Annuity.  It was established while my wife was a teacher.  I have heard that AXA is rather fee orientated.  In a short while the funds will be clear of any early withdraw penalties.  We met with an investment counselor and he said [...]]]></description>

Okay, I keep reading that the best, safest way to invest is to buy Index funds. I have looked into these and most of these have minimums at least 2500, 10k, or even 100k. If I have 20k to invest and I want to have a diversified portfolio, how should I invest this 20k into [...]]]></description>

Hey, certainly not the right place to ask important financial questions but did need some quick clarification&#8230;
Listening to NPR today and one of the top performing investor&#8217;s overall recommendation was that basically, a basic index fund will, on average, out perform any Mutual fund.  And, because Index funds have less fees associated with them, [...]]]></description>

Index funds cannot go to zero ? Am I right ? e.g. take the S&#38;P 500 ETF index for SPY. 
There are 500 stocks in SPY. Should one stock declares bankruptcy or gets de-listed, it is removed from the index fund SPY and a new stock will be added.
So I think even in a bearish [...]]]></description>

Is that statement true?
Also, it seems like the fee % for an index fund (e.g. S&#38;P 500 fund) would roughly equal to the funds alpha. Is that true?
