We've been talking of index funds here, so I'll throw one out I just read about - Russell 2000 MITTS (NYSE - ticker RUM). Come due at a guaranteed (only if Merrill Lynch stays in business!) minimum $10 9/30/04. The terms on the due date are the aforementioned $10 PLUS $10*the percentage increase from the Russell 2000 base of 494.36.
A couple of points to be aware of:
Because these are considered zeroes, there may be tax consequences in taxable accounts.
They are not the most liquid instrument out there.
If you believe the small caps will rally, this might be a good alternative, if one is looking for an index "fund" with downside protection. Comments?
