After market crash,is it right time to invest in mutual funds for long run?

after the current market crash, should i invest in a mutual fund that is likely to give as the following expected returns(%)?
2 year 94.7
3 year 390.6
5 year 1,077.1

This was NOT a crash! This was a little hiccup in the grand scheme of things. A couple of days of doom and gloom, and then the market takes off again better than ever. It happens from time to time - nothing to be concerned about. Just stay away from investments in financial companies for now.

It's always a good time to invest for the long run! I started my current company's 401K program back in 1999 right at the peak of the last bull market, and contributions over time during the bad years have added up to nice gains today!

Do the same with your money. If you have a lump sum to invest, put about 10% of it into the fund each month so if the market does tank, it won't eat up your entire investment in one big chunk.

what the hell is this crap? NO mutual fund has this kind of performance.

I would hardly call a 5% loss a "crash", especially considering that the general market lost about 50% of its value over the two year period of 1973 to 1974.

Hmmmm .... perhaps you know something that I do not. Mutual funds are not likely to give you a 94% return over two years. If you need that kind of return on your money, you might want to look into selling crack.
