Moving mutual fund to stocks.?

Over the next few weeks I will be taking my money out of a Mutual fund and into stocks. Id like opinions about what to buy. (ill obvi research before, but) hey mabey youll suggest a good value stock. ps my mutual fund was aggressive n got 5%.....I bought shares of mcd and ry in september(killed 5% in 90days). im sure I can do better for myself?

Aew you asking if you can get a better return for your money than the mutual fund, is that correct?

It depends. How much experience have you got investing? Remember that the mutual fund managers have been doing this for a long time now. These people are mostly professionals who know what they are doing, have the resources and access to privileged information that you and i do not have. I think it will not be productive for anyone to compare results with a professional.

If your investing experience is below 2 years, then someone else is going to take this money from you in terms of losses, commissions, fees, etc. In the trading community, we call this tuition fee--money you lose to learn how to trade or invest better.

Also, as a trader or investor, expect to make one real big mistake which will cost you a lot of money. You will need to factor this into your investment capital. Not every person will be a warren buffet when it comes to investing. We can learn how--it's just going to cost us something in return.

BA looks good right now

It is all up to you please think with caution and choose wisely

Yahoo (YHOO) is expected to go up in the next few weeks due to thier investment in Alibaba.

This past Saturday I heard of a Mutual Fund yielding over 16%!

THE FOLLOWING INFO IS NOT SPAM! The gentleman asked a Q! I merely provided an answer to his Q!
I heard it on the Mutual Fund Show sponsored by the Mutual Fund Store hosted by Adam Bold. Here in Philadelphia, its on every Saturday morning on WPHT 1210AM. They have a website ,too.
Go to: mutualfundstore.com

As a matter of fact, I never traded mutual funds but one of my firends does. I gave him the info and he is elated!

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Congratulations for moving your money out of Mutual Funds into stocks, it is a wise move. Look at BVSN. It;s undervalued and ready to make a big move.

I can help you (I am a Portfolio Manager)

Great idea. Take your professionally managed mutual funds, cash them in, buy stocks as suggested by strangers (whose qualifications and motives can never be known by you).

Does that seem smart? Even if you research them, I suspect you truly haven't got the experience needed to do this. Unless you're solely depending on luck.

Keep in mind, picking the "right" stocks is only a quarter of what you need to do to be successful. How do you plan the "stops"? What will be your maximum loss on each trade? How do you practice good "position sizing"? What is your "money management" technique? How do you decide when to get out?

BTW: I've sold off almost all my mutual funds over the last couple of years so I can invest in individual stocks and ETF's. But.... I've done it after spending years learning how to trade. Reading dozens of books. Reading Investors Business daily and reading Barron's every week for the last 18 years. Understand technical trading as well as fundamental trading.

I've also been trading for quite a while.... Smaller amounts, to reinforce what I have learned.

Your plan, simply stated, is a road to financial disaster. Read as many books on the type of investing you want to do. Take 6 months to a year growing your skills and knowledge base. Investing is not gambling....... unless one follows your initial plan.


Please don't hurt your yourself.

Consider yourself warned.
