Would you evaluate the holdings of that Mutual to another Mutual's holding looking at financial statements? Or buy and hold recommendations for top 10 holdings? Or manager and track record and reports of a general market?

What is your goal? Are these mutual funds in a retirement account or a regular account? For long term, just buy an index fund of the broad market. Index funds have the lowest fees. Check out Vanguard or Fidelity. If you are trying to time the market for short term gains, one technique is to buy into sector funds when you are expecting a runup in that sector's stock prices. If you are expecting biotech companies to outperform, you would buy a biotech fund at that time. Then swap out into a REIT or China fund or whatever you think is going to do well next.

I would look at the fees the fund charges compared to fees for the same type of fund with other companies.
