Will a domino effect on financial institutions (including mutual funds) from BSC send the DOW down 800?We Answered:
It is not out of the question. People have to wonder if BSC can essentially go bankrupt because of the sub prime mortgage mess, what about Lehman Bros or Citicorp or UBS and others. Many mutual funds held BSC stock in their portfolio and they will take a major hit with this news, so a domino affect is possible, but on the other hand this dramatic event is what can turn markets around so it is possible that when the dust clears, there is a major upturn in the market. Right now there is about 4 trillion dollars in cash with all financial institutions, banks, brokers, etc that can and will be invested in the market when they think prices are a bargain.Carl Said:

How do you find and compare returns on institutional mutual funds?We Answered:
There is a difference between funds aimed at institutional investors and those that are sold by brokers and commission salespeople.The Fidelity Institutional Funds indeed have lower fees than the funds offered to the masses, but the minimums are higher. For example, FSMKX is the Spartan 500 Index fund and has an expense ratio of .10% with a minimum investment of $10.000 ($2,500 for an IRA). The institutional product is FSMAX. It has an expense ratio of .07% and a minimum investment of $100,000.
Neither of these funds have a front-end load.
However, Fidelity offers a line of broker sold funds known as the Fidelity Advisor funds which carry a range of front-end load charges, essentially compensation for the broker selling them to you.
To summarize: If your fund has a front-end load, then it is a broker sold fund and his compensation comes out of your investment. If you have the higher minimums for institutional funds, then you should be able to buy them directly without a sales charge.

What is the meaning of "float" as in "% of Float Held by Institutional & Mutual Fund Owners" ?We Answered:
Float is the amount of shares of a company that are available to be traded. For example, if a company has 100 million shares outstanding and the founding family owns 30 million shares, the float would be 70 millions shares. Lets say that individual stock holders own 7 million shares and the rest are owned by institutional & mutual fund owners. In this case % of float held by instituations & mutual fund owners would be 90%.
