| Subject: mutual funds A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. The mutual fund will have a fund manager that trades the pooled money on a regular basis. The net proceeds or losses are then typically distributed to the investors annually. As goes January? By John Schroy, on February 26th, 2010 |  Leave a comment  Foreign investors and mutual fund shareholders were the primary buyers behind the Bear Market Recovery of 2009. Stock buybacks had disappeared, a significant modification in investor/issuer behavior that had been seen since 1982 and SEC Rule 10b-18. The rally hit a peak in January 2010, reminding many of the saying, “As goes January, so goes the year”.

By John Schroy, on August 5th, 2006 | One comment  In a study of the effect of the retirement of Baby Boomers on the price of equities, the GAO assumed that equities will provide real returns of 7% over the next decades.

Baby Boomers whose retirement plans are predicated on a 7% return on equities may find out, too late, that they have been misled by marketing flim-flam.

Average cash dividend yields never surpassed 3.8% during the period, and most of this meager dribble, so grudgingly conceded by corporate boards, was consumed by taxes and management expenses of the open-end mutual funds.
