have had some dough in Mutual Funds this year, they have done very well...I am nervous though, the financial scene looks pretty dire for the U.S.

Mutual funds are NOT a good investment. They carry far

too many hidden fees, even no-load mutual funds

in this economy are dangerous to be in. On a $100,000 initial

portfolio, investor's would be hit with approx. $20,000 in fees.

Simple, safe low-interest investments, (such as G.I.C.'s in

Canada, or CD's & Treasury Bonds in USA), will always

out-perform a Mutual Fund long term.

Plus, in the next market crash (coming soon) Mutual funds

will experience a massive loss in value. The others won't.

@creativeguitarstudio This is 99% false. You "safe low-interest investments" are complete crap. Treasury Bonds hahaha, clearly your not in finance there is NO way treasury bonds will out perform anything hahahaha. There are thousands of mutual funds with reasonable fees. Usually the fees are around 3% per year. There are thousands of mutual funds and some ARE terrible thats why you have to do your research. The next market crash (not soon) will effect all types of investments hahahahaha

@creativeguitarstudio You could buy a mutual fund that invests in CAT bonds, but since your not in finance CAT Bonds are "Catastrophe bonds" which invest in... guess what? Catastrophes! This is not effected by the markets AT ALL. In fact these bonds were UP in 2008. Mutual Funds are great for people who don't have time or are not experience enough to pick their own stocks. They are GREAT for people who want to invest their money but dont know how... you just look funds peformance

@creativeguitarstudio If you want a "safe" reliable investment that is run by professionals that yields more than .2% per year (Treasury bonds) mutual funds are great OHEAX looks like a great mutual fund, low fees, Very low volatility and will make you a good 8% per year. And it get even better, you dont have to do any of the work, its done by professionals!
