]]> Comment on AIG Pays, Then It Is Taxed, Then They Give the Money Back by American Taxpayor http://www.doitinvest.com/?p=305#comment-1092 American Taxpayor Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:39:57 +0000 http://www.doitinvest.com/?p=305#comment-1092 You are oversimplifying this I think. Congress caused this mess by deregulating the industry, corp greed did the rest. When the public outrage hit, Congress, like all politicians, sprang into action blaming everyone but themselves. In this case, it was easy to point to AIG bonuses. In truth, SOME AIG execs not only need to return their bonuses, they need to prosecuted and/or shot. (Cassana for example). Others, however, played no part in the destruction of the company and should have kept their bonuses. Since Congress wont turn on the people that pay them, rather than charge the wrongdoers, everyone gets to suffer. You are oversimplifying this I think.

Investors send their C-notes to the fund, are issued shares, and the Porsche piloting team of investment managers figures out what to buy. Some of these stock pickers are very good at this. The other 80% of them, not so much. ETFs work almost in reverse. They begin with an idea -- tracking an index -- and are born of stocks instead of money. What does that mean? Major investing institutions like Fidelity Investments or the Vanguard Group already control billions of shares. To create an ETF, they simply peel a few million shares off the top of the pile, putting together a basket of stocks to represent the appropriate index, We have to compare the relationship of mutual fund vs. ETF (exchange trade fund), how do they work MF Traditional, actively managed mutual funds usually begin with a load of cash and a fund management team.
