- Speculate For Growth, Not For Income
By: Bill Byrnes | - There's an old adage in the brokerage community that you should speculate for growth, not for income. Speculation isn't the right word, but the broker who coined it (pun intended) probably wasn't an English major (most brokers aren't).
The point is that you should take risk with investments which you expect to increase in value, i.e., stocks, but not with investments made to generate current income, i.e., fixed income securities. This is an essential maxim if you are dependent ...

- Mutual Fund Investing: Performance Isn't Everything
By: Bob Freeman | - When it comes to Mutual Fund Investing, performance truly isn't everything. Too often, investors rely almost totally on a fund's past performance to determine whether or not it's a good buy.

Just because a fund performed well in the past doesn't mean it will continue to do so. Over the long haul a fund's success depends on a lot of factors.
