Is now the right time to buy ETFs or Index Funds?

April 23rd, 2010

I am new to investing. After quite a bit of research I have decided to buy some ETFs like Vanguard’s Emerging Mkts, Energy and Materials ETF and Index funds like Vanguard’s REITS, Small Cap and S&P 500.

I just want to know if I were to buy the ETFs and Index Funds now, would I be entering the market when it is already at its peak?

Is there any imminent "down cycle" of the market that will make me incur only losses?

I do not want to enter and exit the market at the wrong time.

How do I report a mutual fund that was rolled over to buy more mutual funds?

April 4th, 2010

I started out with two mutual funds. When I transferred them to a new investment company those two funds were used to buy three new mutual funds. This year I sold all three funds. I’m using turbo tax and I understand how to report the three I sold but I really lost on how to report the first two I had and never actually got any cash for.

There were no gains or losses on them so I’m not sure how to enter the information. Help!
