Gifting & Mutual Funds. . . - NewtonMP2100 - 12-11-2006
Saw this and thought it might be useful to some. . .
. . .there are a few mutual funds mentioned with $1,000 minimums. . .
as always, investigate on your own before just taking advice from someone else. . .
otherwise. . .Enjoy!

You lost your credibility with me when you used the word "gifting"...
Sorry... pet peeve of mine

yeah. "Gift" isn't a verb. You don't "gift" something.

From the on-line version of the American Heritage Dictionary at dictionary.com
gift n.
1. Something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation.
2. The act, right, or power of giving.
3. A talent, endowment, aptitude, or inclination.
tr.v. gift·ed, gift·ing, gifts
1. To present something as a gift to.
2. To endow with.
It is used quite a bit in the accounting (tax matters) end of the world.

I don't care what an online dictionary says, really.
"Gift" isn't a verb. You don't "gift" something to someone.

I think he meant "grifting," which IS a verb.
