Mutual fund

I had a good respected friend, give me great advice on a mutual fund 35 years ago.  Now that fund has been sold 3 times in the last 5 years, and is no longer performing, and has different priorites,

  Does anyone have positive feedback on a mid-cap growth fund !  

         Thanks for any input

Well, to state the obvious, only an utterly crazy person would purchase stocks or a stock equity fund now, but if Trump's head explodes or something, I'd recommend Dodge & Cox. They have mutual funds of all types, from income, to growth, to aggressive growth. I've been impressed over the years with how they manage their funds. They buy for the long haul and don't "churn" their holdings. They also charge lower fees than most.

 

Morningstar consistently gave them their highest rating from 2008-2013, which is when I sold. I don't know much about their recent performance, but I can tell you that they weathered the Dubya crash as well as could be expected and may be managing the current Turd disaster optimally as well.

 

If I had cash to burn, I'd short every stock in the Fortune 500. Great Depression coming, y'know.

I like Vangurd low cost index funds, take a look VOO and VUG and see what you think of them.

 TDS on display - again. What a sick person you are.


Thanks NC,  that is where I am leaning and was one of my agents picks.

Check Kiplinger for info and Morningstar ratings.  Aim for 4 and 5 star funds.

Now is the perfect time to buy stocks.  Same thing with long term oil futures.
