I have found ETFs that follow the Russell 3000 but they are not practical for someone who wants to invest a relatively small amount of money each month. The trading fees would eat me alive. Also, taxes are not a concern because this is in a Roth IRA. I know there are plenty of funds based on the S&P 500, so please don't suggest that. Thanks in advance!

If I buy 25 shares of X and 25 shares of Y (where X and Y are different companies) in the same tranaction, is it a single trade? Will the broker like ETrade, just chare me 10$ per trade or is it 20$?

Can someone help me with this question:

The actual total returns (price change plus reinvested dividends) for the S&P 500 Index over 6 years have been:
1997 33.2%
1998 28.6%
1999 21.0%
2000 -9.1%
2001 -11.9
2002 -22.1%
How do you calculate the geometric (compound) and arithmetic average annual returns.

Ok, I'm 20 still in college, but I do have a decent income and a healthy saving. I want to invest it in a mutual fund for retirement. One of my professor told me to start early.

Which Mutual Fund do you guys recommend?

How do it get started? Online or Walk into a bank.

Also I'm planning to invest about $100-$200 monthly, and maybe up to $2000 to initialize it.

The NASDAQ is all automatic right? So why doesn't the New York Stock Exchange change and do that too? Wouldn't it make it more efficient?

I posted a question this morning in regard to finding the weighted average of an investment to see how I average out. I just found out that they are all allocated at different percentages. Could you please review the following and give me some guidance?

Investments are as follows.
A. 10% allocation, 4.7% ROR
B. 10% allocation, negative 19% ROR
C. 10% allocation, 94.7% ROR
D. 10% allocation, 39.6% ROR
E. 20% allocation, 4% ROR
F. 20% allocation, 15.3% ROR
G. 20% allocation, 60% ROR

I stink at math and things like this just tend to confuse me, but I want to be able to track investment performance myself so that I can monitor it. Thank you in advance.

So I opened margin account with an online broker. My available funds are twice my cash in the account. Today I bought some shares without going over my available cash. While my funds went down cash didn't.

Is this normal?

Considering that I am only spending within my means, will I get margin calls if the shares go down in price? Will the broker liquidate my shares if it goes to zero?
