Nice dream but won't happen unless you get real lucky

No... even if hypothetically you invest in a mutual fund that returns 100%, the probability that it will perform 100% the following year is pretty much zero. Don't get greedy... you should be extremely happy with returns of 25%, and even that is ambitious for mutual fund returns!

Well,99% of the experts say that expecting 100% return per annum from a mutual fund investment is unrealistic.Yet, when Reliance entered the mutual fund industry this February, it promised 140% assured return on its IPO investment.There was heavy over-subscription for RELIANCE mutual fund IPO this March & ultimately subscribers were alloted the RELIANCE shares on pro-rata basis.
Again, Anil Ambani had given only an assured return of 140% & not a guaranteed return.

No, not even remotely realistic. How rich would everyone be if they could double their money every year? In a bull market you probably could barely do it picking individual stocks (penny stocks more than likely) if you were extremely lucky or talented, and even then if you did it consistantly you will be considered one of the best investors or all time. Much more likely is that you will lose everything. Mutual funds are long term investments better held in a retirement account. Slow and steady wins the race.

Absolutely unrealistic.
Average long-term S&P 500 return is about 9-10% per year, over a long term. An excellent fund manager might be able to beat that average by a few points, for a few years. An exceptional manager could beat the average for a longer period.
But 100%? Maybe one year, if the stars, Sun & Moon line up perfectly. But not on a continuous basis.

75% of mutual funds make less that 12.5% over a long period of time. Most of the other 25% make about 12.5% (called tracking funds which track the SP 500 which has a track record of 12.5%). I think the top mutuals for the past 4 years have been around 60%. So the answer is that 100% is not even close.

your goal should be to make 10% a year, so years you will make more and some years you will lose money. key to making money in the stock market is keep saving and investing over a long time period. if you try to make lots of money quickly in the stock market you will probably end up losing it and giving it to someone that knows more than you do. open a roth ira and invest every month for 30 years and you will be rich

ludicrous except under extreme conditions. Invest; don't dream or speculate. China funds have hit 40-50% recently but can't expect that in advance.

SBI Magnum Contra Fund is terrific for SIP. i might prefer to recommend this fund for long term investments. you additionally can evaluate ICICI Infrastructure Fund. final years returns for this fund have been ninety 5%. yet another stable fund is DSP merrill lynch TIGER Fund Ltd. yet in this min sip available is for Rs.2000.

Perhaps; the fund would be very risky. And how does one prospectively pick a top performing fund?
