Where it is traded, current price and loads of articles on whether anyone is recommending it as “a buy”. Costco is indeed a stock. I just thought that would be a good way to dip your toe in as many good funds have big minimums and perhaps stocks would be easier.
I guess another good search would be no minimum funds? (Also social responsibility index or ratings)
But I know you’d want to watch for low fees too. High fees are notorious for zeroing out a decent chunk of profits.
Let’s hope my dear friend Swag shows up with a bit of better advice for you! Good luck!
