Is it safe to buy mutual funds right now?
I am a new investor and do not have much to invest. I was comparing the two mutual funds VALUX and UMPIX, both which are MIDCAP mutual funds. However, i noticed that the initial investment for VALUX is only $1000 while UMPIX requires an initial investment of $15,000.

I have about $3000 to spend so I was wondering where I should invest. VALUX has been a good performer the past few years but recently, it has taken a huge hit and has fallen quite a bit. Is it good to buy it right now?

IOr should I just focus on investing in high dividend yield stocks as oppose to VALUX?

DRIPS are retarded. Don't do them.

Lets say that you like Apple Pie and when you first bought it, it was $15 a pie. Now the price is $10. Doesn't this seem like a great deal?
Buy. Short term you will lose money but in the long run you will gain more than if you waited when the market was more stabilized and bought more at higher prices

What is your investing objective? That is the first question you need to answer. Is this to be a taxable investment or within a retirement account? What is your investing timeframe: short term or long term? Determine your objective first, then look for the funds that fit it best.

I agree with the other two answers. DRIP's are great investment plans.

LOL.....if you look at his explanation, it is obvious he knows very little about the stock market. I noticed he didnt give any recommendations, just called the other guys comments "retarded".

If you are not familiar with DRIP's, it is one thing to consider. They are less risky than mutual funds long term.

May I suggest:

go to : low-cost-stock-recommendations

.com

Click on the "DRIP's" Button

These are very powerful long-term investment strategies that usually yield double-digit gains over the long-term. If you decide you are interested, click on the advertisement "ING" on the same page. It will tell you an inexpensive way to start a DRIP Plan.

Three months ago I had said “The markets have turned choppy. The index will keep falling or rising violently almost every day. How can you make money in such a volatile scenario?” I had explained the concept of “Switching”. Those who implemented my advice through me have prevented their Fund Value by eroding 15%

If you had invested in a good ULIP, I would have advised you to switch from the 100% Equity Fund to the Debt Fund and switch back when the markets dipped. Even if you do that twice a year and prevent your fund value from eroding by 5% each time, you would add 10% to your portfolio. If you invest Rs One Lakh every year and add 10% to your portfolio due to switching, you would generate a mind boggling Rs 6.50 Crores extra in 30 years. The first four switches are free every year. The charge for the subsequent switches is only 0.08% of the Fund Value.

You can still practice this concept in Mutual Funds. But you will have to pay the exit load, 10% Short Term Capital Gains Tax and entry load every time you switch.

If you wish to understand how to compare ULIPs and MFs and select the best product, please visit http://fitnessfundas.googlepages.com/how_to_compare_ulips_and_mfs . Please call to discuss when you have the excel spreadsheet in front of you.

The time has gone when you could remain a passive investor and reap windfall profits. If you wish to gain substantially in these erratic market conditions, you will have to choose the best product and keep switching frequently.

All the very best. Keep in touch ... and keep switching !!!

Regards,
Anand

DRIP's are fantastic investments.....what is that guy talking about.

Mutual Funds are terrible investments unless you know what you are doing.

About 75% of all Mutual Funds underperform the stock market. And they are not overly safe.

If you know what you are doing, yes buy mutual funds.

If you want double-digit long-term returns with very little risk, then the other guy is correct, DRIP's are fantastic .
