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.
The good news is many of the funds listed may now be available NTF and "load waived"through Fidelity and others. From a related post; Fidelity waives loads The Fidelity Rep had to check with the trading dept.but he was able to verify that ESMAX was in fact now NTF and load waived and he placed the order for me.Sounds counter productive for Fidelity but until their trading system is updated to avoid some confusion it probably will require a phone call. Still this is a new and welcome change for those of us who have avoided load funds on principle. Also, low minimums on some funds.So everyone can now start some more research and study.Good Luck!
