I'm looking for a screener that I can use to compare various money market funds. There's a bunch of mutual fund screeners out there, including at YahooFinance, but they don't include money market funds as one of their categories. Where can I find one that does?

I'm looking to compare things like yield, expense ratio and amount of holdings.

If I make a dividend from my share of ABC company and just use it to buy more ABC will I have to pay the tax on the dividend?

What if I use my ABC dividend to buy XYZ stock?

BTW I think in a monarchy the serfs are really just held down by fear and ignorance, that's why I am an american, I'm not scared and I am always trying to uncover truth.

I have been looking at e*trade and buyandhold.com. I am wondering about how the taxation et cetera affects my profit margin. On a small scale like mine, how do I keep expanding my portfolio while minimizing the effects of taxes and comissions and membership fees? How do I find a blance point? Say for instance, I pay $14.99 a month for unlimited trades and I have $1000 invested. How much do my assets have to appreciate just to keep from flushing my money away in fees?

I want to get started in investing in comapnies that I believe in. I think I will start with about $1000 after I save up and research some companies. I was not born into incredible wealth or a country club membership, so how do I get started in investing in stocks and avoid capital gains taxes and other pitfalls?
