Fund picks and pans stocks

Posts Tagged ‘morningstar’

I am thinking of buying some Vanguard Total Bond Market Index (VBMFX ) and Vanguard Total Stock Mkt Index (VTSMX ).

1- Do these index funds give dividends?
2- If so, where do you see that they do on google finance page for example or morningstar? I cannot find anytning that says dividends.

Thanks.

I know that morningstar provides that but they ask you to buy membersip. I’m sure I can avoid that. I know that Vanguard lists them nicely, but I am a interested in other than Vanguard’s too. Thank you.

Okay, I’m new to investing in funds.

I know a bit here or there, but I’m still learning. I don’t know enough to trust myself jumping into anything yet.

What I’m looking for is long-term stuff, like something for retirement. I’m 22 now so I guess it’s a great time to start.

What is the top parameters I should look for when browsing mutual funds? Like when browsing MorningStar I see NAV and Expense Ratios (I know what they are) but how do I know what is more important? Also, once I know what is important, how do I know if it’s good. I figured you probably want a low expense ratio, but what would you consider "low"?

I guess I just wanna know what to look for in numbers.

i have one that was rated highly by morningstar and took a sharp dip. Its now rater low by morningstar. Do mutual funds bottom out like stock and stay low or are brokers trying to get them back up with new mixes? or do they simply say ’screw that fund’ and start making new ones?

I keep reading on morningstar and other finance sites about how "such and such a mutual fund is getting too bloated with assets," and that this is especially a problem for funds that focus on small-cap stocks. And I see that Vanguard and many other companies have closed funds to new investors–even Vanguard’s Windsor II, which focuses on huge corporations, has restricted new investors. Let’s say a mutual fund purchases more that 50% of a company, why is that bad? Isn’t that what Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway does?
