  • Buy and Hold: How to Perpetuate Your Investment Losses
    Judging from the reader’s e-mail it appears that he works for a major bank and is adamant about Buy & Hold and Dollar Cost Averaging. Maybe it's the approach he has chosen and he doesn't like hearing that the emperor is wearing no clothes. Nothing personal, honestly, but I find it incomprehensible that anyone, after the bear market and the financial disasters most people experienced, can even consider such theories. The results are just too black & white.
  • Do Lifestyle Funds Provide Greater Security?
    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. In investing, there is simply no such thing as a sure thing. Sure you need to know how to recognize a good investment. But just as important—maybe even more important—you must know when to recognize that a good investment idea didn't work out, cut your loss, and sell.
  • Find a Methodology and Minimize Investment Madness
    There are many reasons to be investing these days, and too much opportunity to not have your money working for you. However, I believe the majority of people dread having to deal with investment matters, and tend to jump into purchases and then hold their breath hoping for the best. After a long day at work and taking care of the family, it’s hard to get excited about reading up on your 401(k) options, Morningstar ratings and fund performances.
  • How (Not) to Buy Mutual Funds
    When it comes to mutual funds, there is a lot more to success than just finding a good one. Sad investment stories like the following are all too common. I hope my sharing it with you will help you avoid making the same devastating financial mistake one of my former clients made.
  • How to find an Investment Advisor
    Most investors—even some professionals—tend to be "off" in their timing: they buy things when they are hot, not when they are cold. 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
    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 Maximize Your 401k Mutual Fund Returns
    When it comes to 401k's there is an overabundance of sad stories. Here is one that at least has a happy ending—and it's getting happier all the time.
  • How to Pay Less and get More: Discount Broker versus Professional Management Fees
    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.
  • How We Eluded the Bear in 2000
    The shake out in the stock market, which started in April 2000, had all major indexes coming off their highs, violently followed by just as strong rally attempts. The roller coaster ride was so extreme that even usually slow moving mutual funds behaved as erratically as tech stocks.
  • Lies, Damn Lies and Mutual Fund Returns
    to look past the surface and don’t take any numbers thrown at you at face value. Remember, most people returning from a weekend in Las Vegas will shout about their winnings and mumble about their losses.
  • No Load Mutual Funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)?
    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. And they offer investing opportunities across the board.
  • No Load Mutual Funds: Investment Hype versus Investment Help
    Whether you’re into stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures or options, there are tons of electronic investment newsletters offering to turn your small stake into a giant fortune. All you need to do is subscribe and watch your portfolio soar
  • Prospering with Mutual Funds: How anyone can “Afford” an Investment Advisor
    There are only two ways an individual can invest in mutual funds: Selecting and investing themselves or using outside help. If they use outside help they’ll have a couple of choices again: A commissioned salesperson (broker, financial planner or Registered Representative) or a fee-based investment advisor.
  • The 10 Rules for Successful Tax-Free Income Investing
    these 10 points will assist you in more profitable investing. If you’re unsure about putting an income portfolio together by yourself, find a professional who works with these types of funds and is aware of the principles I have described, and let him or her assist you in creating the income you need to enjoy a dignified retirement.
  • The Conflict of Interest Game
    it is impossible to predict these alleged conflict of interest schemes, it is definitely possible to follow a disciplined approach and be on the “right” side of the market so you can avoid jumping aboard a sinking ship.
  • The Demise of Buy and Hold
    Based on consistent results I think Buy & Hold should be renamed Buy, Hold & Bye Bye. It sounded great for a while, especially for the huge majority of investors who don't have the time or interest in really doing due diligence on investments.
  • The Inside Scoop on Mutual Fund Rip Offs
    The bear market that showed up at the end of 2000 has every brokerage house—as well as the entire mutual fund industry—scrambling to find creative ways to boost both their image and bottom line. Unfortunately, this is often at the investors' expense.
  • Your Worst Enemy to Successful Investing — the Media
    The big problem with this for mutual fund investors is that all the experts are recommending different funds. It might be one thing if experts had a solid basis for their perspective. If they did, then you would think their recommendations would line up and they'd all be touting the same thing.
