Fund picks and pans stocks

Posts Tagged ‘index fund’

I would like to purchase an index fund and consistently buy more funds on a monthly basis. So my question is, how do i buy an index fund without the high commission charges by the brokerage account?
What type of account do i need? I currently have a stock trading account that enables me to buy individual stock.

Thank You.

I am looking to start investing and I have decided that I will invest in an index fund. I dont feel like I can beat the market and like the diversification index funds provide. Would you go with the S and P, Dow Jones, Nasdaq, or another? Why would you choose that choice? Also, can you invest directly in them or do you have to invest in a syder?

Do index funds purchase shares from the market every-time they receive a new subscription (investor capital)? How hard is it to start an index fund/ what is the process? Would an index fund need an administrator and a custodian?

I am 21 and i ma looking to put my money back to work for me this year. I was told that my best bet is to invest in a index fund that track the S&P 500. However i am also being told that Exchange traded funds (EFT) are the way to go. I would like to know what is the main differences between the two. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s my situation. I have an index fund for about 4 months. I’m afraid the markets are going down, so I’m considering selling and putting the money elsewhere. But considering I only made a few hundred dollars on it, should I even bother selling and paying the 35% short term capital gain tax? And how do year-end distributions fit into all of this?

Thanks for any help in advance!
