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.

MILWAUKEE, July 2, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----To help inspire women to get into the sport of motorcycling, Harley-Davidson announced a special contest challenging female film makers to capture the passion, spirit, independence and empowerment that embodies the spirit of female riders.

Female film makers are encouraged to submit a two minute film about women riders to the Motor Company for the chance to win $5,000, a new High Definition video camera, Harley-Davidson MotorClothes(R) and the opportunity to showcase their film at a premiere party in Los Angeles.

Over the past several years, women have increasingly embraced the sport of motorcycling -- seeking the freedom and adventure associated with the open road, polished chrome and a sweet sounding engine. The number of women who have purchased new Harley-Davidson motorcycles has tripled over the past 20 years, with women now accounting for nearly 12 percent of new Harley-Davidson motorcycle purchases.

"More women are getting off the back of the bike and climbing into the seat of their own motorcycle as they see others realizing their dream of riding," said Leslie Prevish, women's outreach manager for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "This contest aims to capture the passion, self-confidence and beauty of female riders and inspire those who are thinking about riding to grab life by the handlebars and hit the open road."

Female film makers from across the country are encouraged to enter the Bikes, Camera, Action! Contest and can submit their films between now and September 30, 2008. For more information about the contest, including the official rules, visit http://www.bikescameraaction.tv.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company, the only major U.S.-based motorcycle manufacturer, produces heavyweight motorcycles and a complete line of motorcycle parts, accessories and general merchandise. For more information, visit Harley-Davidson's Web site at http://www.harley-davidson.com.
