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.

Comtex
BEIJING, May 15, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) ----
<< 9 Flights Carrying Relief Troops to Sichuan >>
Air China adjusted capacity timely according to the relief situation and allocated wide-body aircrafts as its best to evacuate stranded passengers in Sichuan province. On May 15, 28 flights departed from Chengdu and other 9 other flights were especially arranged for disaster relief. Due to the congestion of CTU airport and affected navigation system, Air China adjusted large aircrafts including A330 and B777 to transport remaining people. Therefore, total transported passenger volume did not change although the frequency was reduced. Another 9 flights departed from Chongqing collected passengers from Jiuzhaigou.
Passengers who bought Air China's tickets for flights from/to Chengdu, Chongqing, Jiuzhaigou, Mianyang, Yibin, Xichang, Panzhihua, Luzhou, Dazhou and Wanxian or interline international flights and who traveled after May 12 could rebook or refund for free. Air China will inform passengers about changes of flight schedule through channels. Air China also suggests passengers call 4008100999 for real-time flight information.
In addition, after receiving special relief tasks on the night of May 14, Air China responded quickly by allocating 9 aircrafts to carry relief troops into Sichuan from Zhengzhou. At the morning of May 15, 3000 relief soldiers were sent to Chengdu on time.
