So for mutual funds have worked out better for me also.

Mutual funds can be fairly good investment.

Keep in mind that there are hundreds of Mutual funds. Most funds "specialize" in what kind of stocks they have in the funds.

Buying a fund is no different than buying a stock....... you have to do some research to know what you are buying.

Morningstar.com is a good place to get information.

Also keep in mind that some funds are "closed", meaning they are not allowing anyone to invest any more money in that fund. Yes....funds get so big that they set limits on how much money they want to manage.

A couple to look at.... ????

PSPFX
POPAX
PRSCX
FSLBX

I much prefer ETFs to mutual funds. However, I like to think I have a fair grasp on the market. We are currently at a time where most people think they have moved to the safety of bonds only to find out over the next year or so their account value has been killed. Good luck.
