Fund picks and pans stocks

Posts Tagged ‘10 years’

The stock market has been crushed over the past couple of months. Is now a good time to invest in index mutual funds if I am willing to hold them for 10 years? Is it worth it or would I be better of putting them into CD’s at 5% interest over 5 years?

I have a decent amount of cash in a money market account making 3.5%…I wonder if I should invest this into the market.

Any comments or advice would be appreciated

I understand that buying low and selling high generates profit. How else would you make money with Index Funds? through receiving dividends nd reinvesting them? and when we say an index fund has a 10% return over 10 years, is that interest? would you get a check for it?

Basic question, but I just don’t understand how else to make money through an index fund apart from buying low and selling high…

Am I correct that you do not really compound your money when you buy stocks since your money doesn’t get re-invested yearly? My 10,000 will only increase in value in 10 years if the price of the stock goes up and not because my 10,000 gets compounded annually (unless the company offers dividends which I could re-invest yearly).

If not stocks, then what other investment vehicles takes advantage of compounded interest? Money market and bonds?

They seem similar from what I read. I have a High Interest account and I’m wondering if I should get a money market account as well to be more diversified and earn more money? I am 22 and don’t plan on taking any amount of money out at all for at least 10 years to put a substantial down payment on a house if that helps for ‘example’ purposes. Thanks.

I’m trying to purchase a mutual fund for an IRA. When I look at a fund’s history everything is in negative numbers due to last years crash. Some funds have a positive return "since inception" but show a negative return over 10 years or less. How can I adequately judge a funds performance when they are showing these kinds of returns?
