HI!!

Thanks so much for the info.
I’ve read the smartest investment book you’ll ever ready and it was all about ETFs.
However, since I want to put money into my investment ever month the commission would hurt every time I buy.
My friend told me about mutual fund that can mimic the index to avoid the commission fee every month but I had no idea who offers this and where.

This is good information for someone who wants to start investing like me.

Thanks!!!

I’m definately a long term investor and I see what you mean by the long term vs the index in addition to the higher fees and taxation of distributions.

Hmm, looks like it’s the TD Canadian index e-fund for starters.

Thanks! Your site is great.
