Sometimes I even swing trade mutual funds by taking profits after 6 months!?<br /><br />I don't mind paying for performance. What's 1.5% or 2% management fee if the fund can return at least 10% for me (assuming buying a low cost index fund or ETF "only" returns me 5%?<br /><br />I think the focus on minimising "costs" when taken to the extreme can be counterproductive.<br /><br />But that's me. I follow what works for me ;) <br /><br />I defintely not a buy and forget investor. I am more an equities man-whore.Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-78154808464629918112012-01-07T10:34:22.292+08:002012-01-07T10:34:22.292+08:00sir, dont you find mutual funds too expensive to m...sir, dont you find mutual funds too expensive to maintain?Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033179494515844181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-65307922211453951952012-01-06T19:44:32.779+08:002012-01-06T19:44:32.779+08:00Hello Panzer,

Some bonds would help spread out the risk and even out returns.<br /><br />Have to wait next week to see if I've been alloted. :-)<br /><br />Be well and prosper.PanzerGrenadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836438378215893219noreply@blogger.com
