Answer 1

Since you have a Fidelity bias I have some good ones for you. Rankings are per DorseyWright, advisor to institutions.

Here are yours in chron order score out of possible 6.0:
PPRBX - 5.5 - very good, if can't get in mine, get in this
FSIKX - 2.3 - not very good, would avoid this
FAGIX - 2.4 - not very good, would avoid this
FEXPX - 5.5 - very good, if can't get in mine, get in this

I would only recommend the ones I own myself, which are:
FSEAX(South East Asia) - 6.0
FHKCX(China) - 6.0
FLATX(Latin America) - 5.9
FICDX(Canada) - 5.9

They (entire world market) might pull back a little from here over next few weeks, even with the fed lowering tomorrow, as they are striding pretty far from their 50 day moving average vs normal. That would be your entry point, or you could average in portions over time. I've had these since the bull market started in 2003 and my portfolio is over 4X what it was. I also talk to the fund managers, and as long as the fed lowers a couple more times, going into pre-presidential year, all fundamentals of non-US growth are still in tact, 6mo-1yr horizon you should be fine....if you see these funds going below their 50 day moving average weekly view on stockcharts.com (just plug in ticker) then get out.....and move everything into a gold ETF like GLD.

I also think owning some stocks outright is good, in addition to GOOG and AAPL, I would add RIMM(just got access to China), BIDU(GOOG of China) and VMW(the next GOOG). I buy call options on the dips (except VMW), but owning the stocks is the next best thing.

Answer 2

Read what the Motley Fool has to say about Mutual Funds before investing, they will show you how they really aren't the best places for your money to grow. I could go into all of your other choices but not knowing your circumstances I regress. Good luck

Answer 3

and when you sell them you are paying the maximum rate on any earnings you got. as for these choces I don't like them but then again I really don't like ANY loaded fund. I much perfer ETF's than mutual funds IF you can tolerate the wilder price swings that is.

as for APPL and GOOG apple is overhyped overpriced and their iphone is hackable. Google I cannot see it at the $600 range. I see a serious pullback coming in that one.

Answer 4

"Short Term"??????? This is nuts. Most Mutual Funds should be held for 5 years or more. Several of the funds you've listed need to be held 10 years or more.

What you're doing is breaking every rule of investing. If you do this.... you're not investing... you're gambling.

Answer 5

Forget the mutual funds and buy up as much google and apple as you can afford.
