Thinking about giving wife $100 worth of a mutual fund for Christmas

[MBony]

Anyone bullish on a particular mutual fund? We use Fidelity and Scottrade.

 

[Blieb]

Most require $2500 initial investment ...

Unless you do an auto-purchase plan ...

There is nothing like opening up that box on Christmas morning and seeing a nice, shiny new prospectus.

I'd recommend an ipod.

 

[Leros]

That's lame. It would be decent if she was a teenager with no income or something, but as an adult... its just lame.

no xmas nookie for you

Yes, I have a recommendation - make sure the couchseat covers are clean and the pillows are fluffy, you're going to be spending quit a few nights on it.

I know the mutual funds I own require $3,000 initial investment

 

[dakels]

This has to be a joke or misunderstanding. You can get a mutual fund for $100? What's the point? Diversifying your $100?

I'm sure she'd love it if you got her one share of BRK.A

1. I don't understand the point..2
2. Need a larger minimum investment for most
3. Do you actually like having sex?

Yes she would. It's also at a really nice price point lately.


OP, just get her some jewelry.

oh, and I don't know if it has been mentioned, but 100 dollars is not "bulk" enough to open a mutual fund...

 

[sdifox]

Err, you are going to be in the dog house til you remedy that "gift"

Your wife <> the chipmunks.

 

[mizzou]

One thing's for sure, there isn't going to be any win spilled all over the wife...

There will be, just from his best friend or the neighbor instead.
