Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Studying stocks and deciding which ones to buy (and sell) and when takes skill, though. If you don’t have the time or interest, just stick with low-cost, broad-market index funds that track the stock market’s performance.
