Exchange-Traded Fund

In the wide and varied family of the thousands and thousands of funds out there, the exchange-traded fund is one of the more consumer-friendly ones.

Unlike mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, behave more like stocks. You can buy into an ETF at any time, and sell it whenever you feel like it. And like a stock, an ETF's value can rise and fall--depending on what the ETF is invested in.What do ETFs invest in? Well, they're typically linked to an index like the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. So, if you had an ETF that trades the same companies that make up the Dow or the S&P, it will rise and fall in value pretty much the same amount as the Dow or S&P.

You can also buy ETFs that invest in other types of products, like bonds, currencies, gold or other commodities. The ETF market has grown considerably in the past few years, so there is no shortage of ETFs to invest in.

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sep. 11, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) ----Fleetwood Enterprises' RV Group, a leading producer of recreational vehicles, held its 2008 Top Dealer Award Ceremony during its National Dealer Meeting at the Paris Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. on Wednesday, September 3, 2008.

Fleetwood's Top Dealer awards are given to dealers who have sold the most units by brand in a 12-month period. This year, Fleetwood paid special tribute to those dealerships that were number one in the nation by brand, as well as number one overall for motor homes and travel trailers. Fleetwood also recognized its "most improved" motor home and travel trailer dealers.

"We have the best dealer network in the industry," said Paul Eskritt, president of Fleetwood's RV Group. "From the product development and planning stages to the delivery of the final product to the customer, our dealers are a crucial part of our success. The Top Dealer award is just one way we acknowledge their sales excellence and thank them for their ongoing support of Fleetwood."
