I thought Fidelity and Vanguard had restrictive rules to discourage fast trading of index funds. With a Fidelity mutual fund account I believe you are limited to 4 trades per year per fund, plus on many funds they have a percentage penalty if you hold a fund less than 30 or 90 days, depending on the fund.

And I know Vogel (Bogel? what's his name) who runs Vanguard also tries to discourage in-and-out trading of funds.

If you want to trade the S&P 500 like a stock you could always trade SPY on AMEX or DIA (also on AMEX)if you want to trade the DJIA. Best of Luck, Where'd He Go?

Edit: Oops Just saw Alski's post on SPY.
