I'd say Vanguard is a good place to start, because they have some of the lowest management fees... flagship.vanguard.com

Then you might as well buy SPY or whatever? No?

I have even less clue about US closed end funds. I need to get a clue because now I will be earning US dollars I need to invest them sensibly rather than just playing around with US dollars as I have up till now. Unless I transfer them back to Australia.This is what I have in my parents' US account with Schwab (maybe 7% or so of total assets):

BRK.B   
EWA  
JBX   
JNY  
LE   
MDY   
MSFT  
QQQ   
SWY  
UIS  

Some have lost but we are up reasonably since mid-1998 when we started. Closed end funds could be useful there too I suppose. I am looking for the NDX to hit the upper trendline and then dump the tech junk and get some golds.... LE is currently best performer of those. Need to reinvest the LE cash too. In the past we've also held: AAPL , JPM,  KELYA, SPY.
