 Why do supermarkets carry so many different brands of salsa vs. other condiments and sauces? |
| It seems to me that supermarkets carry a great deal of brands of salsa. Wouldn't it make more sense to carry fewer brands that turnover faster to reduce inventory/carrying costs?... |

Yes, that's quite intelligent, and in fact you can do it easily. Buy one of the following:
ishares fund (IVV)
SPDR fund (SPY)
Both own all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 and can be purchased through a brokerage account. |

No you are not right, you are missing something. The "top 500 companies" (S&P 500 index fund) have been a good investment, but they are only a small part of a wide investing universe. History has shown, long term, small cap value stocks have beaten the S&P 500 index for most of the past XX years. Mid-Caps stocks have also done very well as have international, both large and small. Split your money up to large cap, small cap, international, etc. Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, Fidelity and other fund families have some good index funds to cover these varied markets. |

You should compare the rate paid (yield) on a yearly basis between the S+P 500, a T-Bill (or a CD), and whatever else you might be thinking about.
Then think about whether the next 12 months will be the same. |

The idea in theory sounds great but there is a lot more to it than that. Just putting your money into the top 500 is all very well but you need to look at a few basics first.
1.What risk tolerance do you have?
2. What time factors do you want to use?
3.You need to diversify in case one sector of the market goes into a decline.
4. How much to invest in each one.
There is a lot to take into consideration.
I reccomend you do some research first and learn about the share market before you do anything.
There is a lot of information out there to learn from. A good basic site is listed below .
Happy successful investing. |

WOW, you are a genius, now if only they would come up with a mutual fund that did just that and then call it an index and in fact call it a S&P 500 Index Fund.
I bet they could get a lot of people to invest in that. :) |

Yes ..you are right because that's where the big money goes.
You can also find stocks that others aren't aware of before they make the big dash UP or down.
The other thing is if you learn to make money on the way down you will always have an advantage.
For this you need to check out options..link below: |
