FUNDS, BONDS, AND ANNUITIES : Topics

MUTUAL FUNDS ARE SIMPLY A WAY TO INVEST IN A LOT OF STOCKS AT ONCE
> In a bull market most mutual funds will go up as much the whole market MINUS the fees. Over a 10 year period the fees can subtract 50% of investor earnings.
> In a bear market most mutual funds will go down as much as much as the whole market PLUS the fees.
> Some will do better, others will do worse depending on the stocks they pick.
> As a general rule Mutual Funds are a good way to invest in a bull market, but losers in a bear or sideways market. In the current bear market only 17 out of 2,100 funds made money.
