What is the difference between an ETF index fund and a regular index fund?
Q. Schwab has some new etf index funds (domestic and international) for clients that are transaction free and very low expenses...Are ETF index more risky than normal index funds ?

A. ETFs are less risky. With ETFs you can buy or sell right now at the current price. You can also put in stop and limit orders, just like with any stock. You know what's going on at all times and you know what your price is. With regular index funds, like with any traditional mutual fund, you buy or sell your shares based on the net asset value which is calculated at the end of the day after the market closes. That means that you put your order in, but you don't know the price until later. If there is a big move against you near the end of the trading day, you're screwed.

Q. I made a website using Dreamweaver, i loaded to y web hosting but when I type in my website it comes up with my directory structure folders. How do I get my website to come up with my index page?

A. When you upload your index page in your main folder or any directory folder, that page should open by default. If not, you should ask your hosting provider about it. Keep in mind that your index page must be named "index", regardless of the type (index.html, index.htm, index.php, etc.)
