Do Lifestyle Funds Provide Greater Security? By : Ulli G.Niemann no matter what type of mutual fund you choose, or what anybody claims it will do for you, you must be vigilant and see if it does what you were told it would.

(That's exactly what I did for my clients in October, 2001, and we retained the lion's share of their profits while Buy & Holders kept insisting the emperor was wearing new clothes.)

But for the greatest benefit, it should be the opposite. The media doesn't help much when it comes to this buying approach, and let's face it; greed and fear play a large part in most peoples' investment decisions How to Find Value in No Load Mutual Fund Investing By : Ulli G.Niemann to look at costs as balanced by performance and that's where you find value. Then seek true value not simple savings, enjoy healthy dollar-level returns and don't sweat the pennies.

How to Pay Less and get More: Discount Broker vs Professional Management Fees By : Ulli G.Niemann The net result was that he would receive the benefit of my experience—which he already trusted based on my track record of pulling clients out of the market in October 2000—and it would cost him no more, and likely less, than his discount brokerage account.

The roller coaster ride was so extreme that even usually slow moving mutual funds behaved as erratically as tech stocks. Introduction to Mutual Funds By : Jim Pretin Learn all about mutual funds Lies, Damn Lies and Mutual Fund Returns By : Ulli G.Niemann the story is to look past the surface and don’t take any numbers thrown at you at face value.

By : Ulli G.Niemann In a nutshell, an ETF is a specific kind of no-load mutual fund that you might consider to be a basket of stocks. ETFs are diversified like mutual funds, only they trade like stocks. They are cheap to trade (as low as $8.00) and don’t hit you with any short-term redemption fees.
