Sam presents Buy 500 Companies for $1,000 with a Stock Index Mutual Fund posted at Surfer Sam and Friends, saying, "Thanks for including my article. Here's an excerpt...

Buy 500 Companies for $1,000
With a Low Cost Stock Index Mutual Fund
Guaranteed Average Returns
Index funds allow average people to participate intelligently in the stock market, by offering diversification and low fees. On the other hand, actively managed mutual funds often do no better than index funds but charge higher fees. Individual investors are flocking to index funds to meet their investment goals.
What is a Stock Index?

A stock index is a list of names and numbers of shares selected according to some established criteria. For example, the well-known S&P500 Index is a list of 500 selected companies that make up 79% of the stock market in terms of market capitalization.

All stock indexes are managed lists. The list is revised when companies merge, when company performance declines or when other conditions dictate. Companies that are added to the list are often selected for their growth potential.

Some common indices include the S&P 500, the Russell 1000 and the Wilshire 5000. The Russell 1000 Index uses the largest 1000 companies that make up 89% of the market. The Wilshire 5000 Index has more than 5000 companies and includes 99.9% of the market
What is an index fund?
An index fund is a mutual fund that buys the stocks of companies in the index, and holds them in its portfolio. The fund is set up to mirror the performance of the stock index, by holding all the stocks in the index, in the same proportions as the index. The investment goal of index funds is to achieve average results. An index fund turns in an average performance, rather than trying to hit the ball out of the park."
