What are the disadvantages of buying annuities vs investing in a no load mutual fund?

I am 58 and my husband is 53 . After raising our 3 kids we have about 25K saved. We thought of buying a single payment annuity so that we can receive payments for life. We do not know how much a month we will get and whether it would be better just invest in a no load mutual fund like Fidelity Retirement fund Which approach will serve our purpose better We have no other retirement except social security in a few years( I plan to take social security at 62 but I might have to work until 66 . My husband plans to take his at 62.

Is it risky to have all your assets in one mutual fund family?

If I have my money all in vanguard ( in a variety of funds), would I lower my risk by adding another fund family (ex: fidelity)? Since all the money is ultimately in the stock market, I can’t see how it would be less riskier to invest in 2 fund families. After seeing banks fail, people lose houses, huge financial firms go bankrupt, I’m nervous about having all my assets in one institution, but even in Vanguard went bankrupt, I’d still have all my mutual funds in the stock market, right?

Best way to invest my money on mutual funds?

All,

I have 00 that I would like to invest in mutual funds. And every month put in a couple hundred to invest in. Now, I am not very savvy when it comes to financial investment. I read that Fidelity is a very good mutual fund house. They have a couple of Fidelity office around my job. Would it be a big mistake if I go there and talk to one of their rep to help me invest my money?
What should I ask for, look for?

Thanks for any info!

What are some really good investment companies?

I have Fidelity for my retirement and my husband has Principal Funds for his because that’s who our employers go through. We want to open another investment account to save money for a down payment for a house hopefully faster than the low rated savings and CD accounts would get us. Are these really good companies or are their better ones out there?

Any tax benefits to reinvesting your dividends from mutual funds?

I have a few mutual funds with fidelity which distribute dividends once a year. By default all the dividends are reinvested back into the funds. I would rather have the dividends in cash so I can invest into different funds. Is there any tax benefits to having the dividends reinvested instead of just taking the dividend in cash?

Thanks

How do I get started investing in stock index funds without paying those high initial investment minimums?

Fidelity’s minimum for an IRA is 00. I’d like to invest in three index funds. I have 00 to invest. Can I invest 2500 in the first fund, then withdraw 1500 leaving 1000 in, invest 2500 in the second,then withdraw 1500, so this leaves me with 2500 in hand to invest in the third. Then even everything out so I have equal amounts in each. Please help I’d like to get started soon but can this work. Thanks in advance for your answers
