[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 857074, member: 23516"] I'm not sure what you mean with the remark about dividends. Individual stocks might pay dividends (depends on the company). The companies that handle them, such as Vanguard, either do it on a fee basis, a percentage (of the contribution, the growth, etc.), or a something similar. Financial instruments can be insanely confusing and a lot of terminology is misused all over the place by society as a whole. :P I wouldn't worry about the companies using our money to buy the funds. That's just the way it works and it gives them a reason work in the interest of the customer. If they deliver results, it entitles them to charge higher fees. The quick answer to "What about companies squeezing out as much profit as they can?" is to invest in those companies. It's frustrating, but who is to blame? The US had a 40+ year run after WWII of manufacturing domination because so much of the rest of the industrialized world got blown up in the war. They eventually got back into gear and started making things. Then technology started making things. Then the Third World started making things. I'd like to complain about FDX tightening its budget, but hell, how can I? I'm doing the same with mine. [/QUOTE]
