Mutual Funds

Are a good investment unless you have the time and desire to trade in individual stocks. Buy a domestic diversified growth stock mutual fund and never sell it. Let the law of compound interest help you achieve your financial goals by reinvesting capital gains & dividends when fund distributes them to share holders.

And don't let market trends shake your conviction.

At my last peek the top fund had an one year return of over 85%. Isn't that incredible! Will you ever be satisfied with a low rate of return again. But before you get too excited, just because these funds were exceptionally profitable this year doesn't necessarily mean they will be next year. Fund managers change, conditions change and a successful strategy this year is not necessaryily an effective strategy this coming year. As they say past performance does not guarantee future performance. You need a better criteria.
