I have a small amount of money I would like to invest. I have heard of mutual funds but what are they? how do you get them? how much do they cost? how much money can you make from them? Is there a certain amount of time you have to wait before getting the money from them? Do they require any "upkeep"? Anything else I should know about mutual funds? Do you have suggestions for other easy investments that would be better than a mutual fund? Sorry for so many questions but i would really appreciate someone knowlegedable to help me out. Thanks!

I keep hearing that one should invest in mutual funds that are a combination of around 60% stocks and 40% mutual funds. Can someone knowledgeable in mutual funds recommend a company (like Vangard for Fidelity) that sells mutual fund that invests with this arrangement (60/40)? Thanks guys....this is great advice....all of it. I will heed your guidance. Wonder when the bottom is going to drop out of the stock market again?

Hello, as a beginner investor how do you actually earn money from mutual funds? I heard that it's not about compounding interest and that it's about the NAV on the day you wish to withdraw the funds that will determine your profit? I had a perception that it was like time deposit, that your initial investment will earn interest and interest is added up to your initial investment and it will compound over time only that the interest rates varies every time. This is not the case in mutual funds right or is it? Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks. Note: I know what a mutual fund is at least it's general idea that it's composed of diversified investments managed by a fund manager. My question is how do you earn technically? Is it like compounding interest or not?

I started out with two mutual funds. When I transferred them to a new investment company those two funds were used to buy three new mutual funds. This year I sold all three funds. I'm using turbo tax and I understand how to report the three I sold but I really lost on how to report the first two I had and never actually got any cash for. There were no gains or losses on them so I'm not sure how to enter the information. Help!

Hi, I am new to this area of finance and have no experience or backround education in it. I wanted to know how to determine which funds are the best to invest in. I have read some material online (limited myselfto top performing funds) but still feel vulnerable since I don't feel I have knowledge whatsoever to feel confident that a particular fund is what will be suitable for me. Are there any indicators which one should look while chooosing mutual funds?

I've reviewed the prospectus for American Funds Growth Fund of America. According to the prospectus they only charge a set up fee and annual fee of $10 for class A-529 accounts. I have a regular class A retirement account, but am being charged a $10 annual fee and was charged the $10 setup fee. I am positive this fee is not listed in the prospectus. Can mutual fund companies charge fees that are not disclosed? This is NOT a college account. It is a class A IRA.

I've read a lot about what John Bogle preaches and believes as far as investing in mutual funds go. However, what do his pundits say? What's the opposite opinion?
