- Sorry if this is no longer relevent to MYM. What kind of information you are
- sent about your contributions is determined by whom you make contribution to.
- For example, I have money electronically withdrawl from my bank account into
- a mutual fund, and I get wonderful reports from my mutual fund telling me
- how many shares I was able to get (and at what price).
-
- What mutual fund are you talking about? I do think that all (atleast as far as
- I know) mutual funds are purchased and sold by the share.
