Thus, the same index ETF purchase plan (the index) investment trust fund similar to the benchmark index, such as investment trusts, and investment and called to relay the ETF to purchase price when it became coherent.

You can set aside each month and still practice it, and investments to focus on the commission shall not take as much as possible, will take some time, and I think that the investment practices relay reasonable. (I will if I can invest directly in the ETF and buy hundreds of thousands each month)

Relays have been invested, but I have to select the relay as follows slightly different indicators, not much stuck. Low-cost funds are good and mostly flat monthly purchase if possible.
