i have some excess money that i need to invest. i started an IRA with USAA in april, investing in one of their mutual funds (USCRX) but it hasnt been doing very well. ive heard that an 8-10%/year return is realistic for long term ventures, but so far i havent come close to that with this fund. i dont want to bail on it prematurely, but if it doesnt start doing much better, it doesnt seem worth it. if anyone has any advice on how and where to research good investments, good advice on investments from experience, or advice on good companies to invest through (ie ameritrade for stocks, major banks for CDs, etc.) i would greatly appreciate it.
I currently have close to 6k in my IRA, and 8K in a savings account, and i put away about 800/month. thanks for your help! :D
