I definitely agree with you when you say: "As an investment, the greatest pro of ETFs is that charges are typically low, as running an index-tracking fund should be simple since no investment research/stock-picking expertise is required. Annual fees are typically in the region of 0.3-0.4% for an ETF, 0.6-0.8% for an index-tracking Mutual Fund, up to around 1.5% for an actively managed Mutual Fund. But it’s debatable whether many ‘active-management’ outfits add value in the long term." I also have an overview of ETF Funds that I think would be valuable to someone that would like to get a better understanding of the ETF Market. You can find it at http://financialplanneralliance.com/2008/06/etf-funds.html If you would like to trade articles on etf funds please check out what I have to offer so far and maybe we could trade 'guest articles' on each other's blogs. Thanks again. This a great guide to ETF Funds!

]]> Comment on Stafford Loans Explained by Chad Brochill http://financeplace.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/stafford-loans-explained/#comment-4 Chad Brochill Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:45:56 +0000 http://financeplace.wordpress.com/?p=3#comment-4 This article is somewhat helpful, definitely for the person looking for a brief overview on Stafford Loans, however, the best internet resource I found prior to accepting my first Stafford Loan award was at the site http://schoolloans.com/, which essentially detailed enough information about the topic for me to be convinced a Stafford Loan was the right choice for me. I think I even impressed my loan officer with how much information I knew on the topic from my research....I didn't tell him it was from the one article.
