Q. I've recently come into a little bit of money, and would like to place the money in an index fund like the S&P 500. This is the first time I've really invested, so I would like to start small, say around $500, but I'm unsure how I would go about actually doing it. Can I do it myself, or is a middle man necessary? Asked by crazydavythe1st - Wed Dec 27 03:12:55 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are two ways to invest in an index fund: 1. Buy shares in an index fund. (ex. Vanguard 500 Index Fund, tracks S&P 500) 2. Buy shares in a ETF. (ex SPY, tracks S&P 500) In practice, these two ways are very similar. The difference is that index funds usually have no transaction costs for buying/selling, but can only be bought through certain authorized brokers and might charge a fee if you have a low account balance. ETFs are traded on the stock market and can be bought through *any* brokerage (ex. etrade), but you will almost certainly be charged a fee for buying/selling.

Q. My garden vegetables plants are not growing well this summer. I have tomatoes, squash, hot peppers, basil and oregano. The plants are very short and less developed as compared with other summers. I'm wondering if it could be the high UV index we've been having. It's also been cooler than usual and much rainier than usual. The soil is fresh and all else seems to be in order. Should I move them into the shade or it more likely that it's the cooler temperatures and too much rain that's the cause of their underdevelopment? Many thanks.

Also UV rays destroy vitamins in the skin.I suppose the same effect could be had on plants Answered by Lee - Sun Jul 5 15:24:03 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "index" |
