Investing - February 2007

I know there are tons of costs when owning mutal funds, but do you know why they're considered bad investments.

Doesn't matter if you don't agree they're bad, just let me know why, if you understand it. My funds were good last year at 14%, I don't think that's bad. It's probably not the best out there.

Use layman terms, please. Thanks.

Greetings I have been trading stocks successfully on a Simulated trainer for a few months now. I have had some pretty good returns with stocks and decided to open an account to trade. However when I set my buying limits to the desired price the orders seem to never carry through even when the last trade is at the desired price. My question is "In the real market does you buying limit need to match the bid/ask prices? If this is so then this would mean the trainer is crap and I have wated my time trying to learn something new. If not, What enviromental factors would cause something so obvious not trigger? Thanks in advance

Before the dot com bust I had over 1/2 million in investments.

After the crash and at the low it went down to 190K.

Now, after the recovering and investing more I am almost at the 1/2 million mark plus have a new home (have 100K invested in it so far with 213K left to pay on the mortgage)

The market to me looks better now than in 2000 for sure...but I am at the crossroads on SHOULD i just let it ride and keep putting more into the market. or build up cash on the sidelines for a correction that is bound to happen OR sell everything ....pay off the home and hold cash on the sidelines.....What say you?

at least enough to make a measurable return?

also what would be the best market? should i go al DOW NASDAQ or should i mess with forex/ commodities as well? maybe a mutal fund?


or would it be best to just stick it in a CD, im willing to take risks but in the end i would take steady growth over a one night boom and bust

How long did you have the stock? How many shares? How much did you purchase it at and how much was it when you sold it? What did you do with your earnings?

Also if you got any hot pennie stock give us all a hint.

Please only serious comments. We are so frusterated trying to get ahead. I have my MBA, so I understand some business stuff, but it seems like it takes money to make it. We are at the bottom of the barrel, and are at the end of our rope. There have got to be some success stories out there.

We are just at the edge of our seats ready to just at our first opportunity to run our own business. I know people get others to invest in thier business all the time. My husband and I are both pretty handy and would love to buy and fix up homes, run a handyman business, a cleaning company, or an organizing company. We both have bad credit and don't have any money to invest ourselves.
How hard would it be to find someone to invest money in something like this? Or do you have any other ideas? We live with little, have cheap rent, and have read the Dave Ramsey book. Saving is out of the question. We really want to work and contribute to our community, but are getting ready to forget it

By Private i mean non-public. My plan was to create something similar to either Amazon.com and sell lots of products, or just sell one product, but offer a lucrative investment program instead of the pyramid scheme mumbo jumbo.

Simple. People invest and depending on the success of that quarter, the people get their investments back with a little bit of profit. :) But they get paid in daily increments instead of waiting til the end of the term.

Is this legally possible?

Some sites say don't invest in load funds, some say their is no such thing as a no-load fund, that they all have fees. I currently have investments in my Roth IRA in Class A Funds, is this good or bad? I am confused by how much the fees are and when they are charged. Which type of funds are the best types to invest in for a retirement Roth IRA?
