- An exchange traded fund (ETF) is an investment vehicle that is composed of a mix of assets, such as stocks and bonds, which is constructed to track the performance of a market segment or index.
- An index fund is a type of mutual fund that only tracks a benchmark index.
- The main difference between the two is that ETFs can be traded throughout the trading session, much like a stock, while index fund trades are executed once the market closes.
- Generally, an ETF will pay dividends if the security (e.g., stock) pays dividends.
Is an ETF an index fund?
Although most ETFs are quite similar to index funds in many aspects (they both may offer diversification to an investor’s portfolio, tend to be passively managed and are cost effective), there are some notable differences between the two.
Most notably, ETFs can be traded throughout the trading session, much like a stock, while index fund trades are executed once the market closes. This major difference makes ETFs more attractive to active investors.
Additionally, unlike many index funds, there is usually no minimum investment requirements for ETFs.
Now the retard doesn’t understand that an index fund is almost ALWAYS an ETF and not the other way around.
LMAO.

Oh BTW, Trump held a pep rally so he could keep whining about losing the election, Biden didn't hold a rally, he gave a speech, a speech in which he told trump and the MAGA's to fuck off
Republicans notably silent, split as Trump probe deepens
At first, Republicans were highly critical of the FBI search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. But as new details emerge about the more than 100 classified documents the former president haphazardly stashed at his private home office, Republicans have gone notably silent.apnews.com

I don't see what the big deal is, I mean don't all ex presidents take classified and top secret documents with them when they leave the White House, and store them in the closet of their country club?
