Answered by corneliusxlax - Thu Jan 10 15:18:32 2008 Is it a good idea to invest in mutual funds, specifically total stock market index funds? Q. with all the talk on the news about a possible recession i dont know if its a good idea to invest in mutual funds. Asked by jonathan.zuniga53 - Sat May 3 19:31:00 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. The answer "Common Sense" provided is excellent! I would agreee and reiterate: it is always a good time to invest in mutual funds and to do so regularly to take advantage of dollar cost averaging. I have invested in Vanguard for nearly 30 years. They are the low cost leader and provide excellent customer service. There are other companies but check the fees. Vanguard is about 1/5 of most other mutual fund companies and in fact is a "mutual" company. All the shareholders are the owners so you reap the benefits. Also, as CS said: read as much as you can. Vanguard (and I suspect others) have online resources to help educate the investor. Answered by john carlo - Sat May 3 20:12:53 2008 We have an mennonite client who wants to know if he can check stock market indexes over the phone?
Q. Is there a number that has a voice ticker? Mainly for Nasdaq, but he has some allocated to S&P. He obviously cannot check it over the internet or television. The telephone is his only option, the paper doesn't give him up to date stats. I'm not a stockbroker, I'm a marketing product manager that has to deal with customer service issues at times. I could give him the quotes, but I'm not always around or available. Asked by Shotz - Fri Jan 18 11:04:41 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. No and I suspect even brokerage account phone lines that sell index funds would not be current since index mutual funds can only trade after the closing bell so intraday activity is irrelevant. If the client owned diamonds or spydrs then a brokerage line may give out quotes, but you would almost certainly get a live broker and any trades would be expensive. A firm covering such a cost would have to charge a commission that makes intraday trading too expensive anyway. Just a note, it is impossible to trade a mutual fund on price since the price is determined after the market closes and not during the market. If the client holds index funds intraday quotes are not that meaningfull since funds never actually hold the actual exact index… [cont.] Answered by OPM - Fri Jan 18 11:42:11 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "stock market index"
