redguard572001 | Should I get out now? |
I invested a lot of my savings into 2 mutual funds in December. Since then, they're both down around 8% and I've lost about $1300. I keep hearing all this pessimistic news about the economy and how we might be in for much, much worse. I don't want to lose the savings I worked so hard for. My investment person says that these 2 consistently overperformed the market, even during the 01-02 recession, so if I stick it out, I should be okay.
However, I don't want to lose much more. I mean, I've already lost the equivalent of 2 months rent. Starting next month, I'm going to be living on about 75% of my current income.
I'm thinking seriously about cutting my losses, selling the mutual fund shares, and just putting it into cd's.
What should I do?
Additional Details
for reference, the funds are:
CIBCX
and
IFACX |

All the technicals are showing a market that is heading in the right direction. Take the financials out of the whole picture and you would find the market is actually doing ok. Take out tech and the market is doing very well.
It's going to be a tough year all around, especially for those diversified as mutual funds are.
The coming two weeks are going to be even tougher on you. BE warned.
However, the idea of investing long term as you are in Mutual funds is to allow growth. It is not a vehicle to buy a.. well a vehicle...
If you are investing long term, as I would hope your goal is with mutual funds considering the fees you take on... you shouldn't even bother looking other than about once a month. IN time you'll have return. Worrying about your losses now, in a down period is simply panic. The market thrives on Panic.
Honestly if yo ubelieve in the funds your in, now is the time to put more in believe it or not. You're paying less for share thanyou were a year ago. You'll be averaging down your losses and setting yourself up for more profit as things get better. Remeber the market is ahead of the real economy you and I experience in the real world.
Also remember, when someone wins in the market, someone is loosing. If you take out your money.. you become one of those losers. Those who stay in, end up with your money.
That's my food for though... Or I maybe wrong and we're all screwed. |

Never sell quality!! Read Warren Buffet. I do not know specifically about these mutual funds but I have been investing for 20 years and now at 40 do not have to work. So here is my advice. Is the fund diversified across industries, does it have good quality assets? Is your time frame 5 years plus? Read Warren Buffet - sorry did I say that before- yes I did. Read Warren Buffet and get onto his website berkshirehathaway. Read learn do. |

The First one you listed has had a steady growth since 2001, and only recently were having downfalls, yet has had a showing of resurgence in the last 30 days.
I would hold onto that one for a while longer - that shows promise of coming back up again.
The second one, IFACX, shows the same performance, and looks like will surge back in time.
I would hold on - bear it out - and you should see better returns on the funds. |

The first reaction is to "get out", but the fact is, when the market drops (usually for a couple of months or less...but that's irrelevant at this point), it will even out and eventually gain. If you stay in, you will be "buying low", or basically purchasing once the market levels out and sales resume. In the long run, you will have MORE shares for your money as a result. Unless you are in your mid 50's (and I'm assuming you're not because you are asking for advice on YA), wait it out. |

I have one of the America Capital Funds, AMCPX, and find it to be well managed. I've owned it for 22 years and it has grown from 11,000 to around 70,000 in that period of time.
One thing to consider is that CIBCX and IFACX have "Back Loads." A load means that they load up a truck and take some of your money away. Well, it is not that bad but they do grab a couple percent. |

hi
This is ali.
let me start in this way. i would say IT'S A STUPID IDIA TO INVEST IN MUTUAL FUNDS AND CD'S.
what exactly wee ant to to do with over money ? wee want to make money . but when it comes to MF , CD its they make money by using ur's. take the past history just go arround and ask others about MF CD how much they invested nad how much they made how much they are able to keep.
listen bro if you dont know swimming stay at shore dont dare to get in wqter. but as you said are already invested in thisd funds so what was your idea who recemended to you this things. as for as the recession is concern it is going to stay atlist 4 years if not 6-7.
so taking that in mind plan ur move. MF , i doubt that they can give you disired return. investing in MF makes sence in bull runs only.
ok for you i would suggest the fist thing get out of MF. now think about the things which ur able to do on your oven and the things you can do with a litle help of others. be your oven FInancial planer, i would suggest you find some of the guy's who are in same boat as ur. remember which one can't do two can do. which one can do two can do better.
the bad day's are ahead start thin king rigth now build you arc and stay prepared.
i would strongly suggest you to go trhou a book RICH DAD POOR DAD this book chenged my life, it will give you a new sence of finance. take ur time before any move.
god bless and take care -Ali from india |
