  • How to beat the mutual fund companies at their own game  By : ulli G.Niemenn
    use a well performing mutual fund during strong up trends and get over to the sidelines during trend reversals. (That's exactly what I did for my clients in October, 2001, and we retained the lion's share of their profits while Buy & Holders kept insisting the emperor was wearing new clothes.)

The results are just too black & white.

    In a nutshell, an ETF is a specific kind of no-load mutual fund that you might consider to be a basket of stocks. ETFs are diversified like mutual funds, only they trade like stocks.
