Internet marketing is really a great way of promoting a website. I found good results when I started internet marketing my website.

Sorry, you are right. That is ONE BASIS POINT.

1 Basis Point = 1/100 of a percent

That is not ONE BASIS POINT. It is a tenth of a basis point.

Nice to see the numbers! Just wondering… what conclusions do you take from this? Seems to me that oil/gas and basic materials do the best on average… And technology seems like a big loser! =)

[...] Nickel complains about hotels nickel and diming for internet access (I think it’s ridiculous too). FMF discusses the cash back features of his American Express Blue card. Talk about recycling and you’ll get a link from me, this time Money Smart Life talks about the RecycleBank recycling program. JLP takes a look at the iShares Dow Jones Total Market Sectors funds.

Hi:

I tried your calculator and it didn’t work right. I put $100.00 for price and 10% inflation rate. It should have given me a future price of 161.051. (1.10)^5=1.61051×100=161.051.

My intention is just to collaborate with others, as well as I expect others to collaborate with me.

Sincerely,
Fernando

I am not a proponent of large cap index funds, but they can be useful in other sectors. One problem is that you own all the bad stocks in the index–not just the good ones.

Here are some basics on ETFs and Index Funds:

It’d be nice to see IYR (Real Estate index) in this mix as well. I wonder how it did.
