- Existence Of The Long Short Fund
By: Jamie Hanson | - The reason the long short fund wasn't thought up many decades ago, or maybe it was but it couldn't be put into practice, is simply because of laws regulating a mutual funds short positions. However, in 1997 an amendment to the securities laws allowed funds that capitalized on short positions, like the long short fund, to come into existence. As a result, the long short fund is legal today although they are still regulated by securities laws to some degree. These regulations encompass things like ...

Basically, there are two main goals that long short funds have for the investors. The first one is to try and provide investors with a return on their investment that is better than the historical return on stocks. The ...

- Adding The Long Short Fund To Your Portfolio
By: Jamie Hanson | - There are bonds, stocks, mutual funds, hedge funds, and many other methods for investing money.

- Systematic Investment Planning Through Mutual Funds
By: Mike Fullerton | - There exists a misconception with amateur investors who consider SIP to be a kind of a Mutual Fund.

It is more of an investment mode rather then an investment avenue as many point out. An average investor opting for Mu ...

- Be Both A Short-term Trader And A Long-term Investor
By: Dr. Winton M. Felt | - Do short-term traders assume more risk or less risk than long-term investors? Does selling quickly when an overpriced stock breaks down make a person a trader?

- Stock Market Investing: Long-term Or Short-term?
By: Dr. Winton M. Felt | - To have a pre-disposition to buy and hold stocks for the long-term can be an extremely expensive frame of mind. The long-term market trend is up, but in a volatile stock market, the long-term gain is often laden with risk and not nearly as great as many short-term gains. Risk vs. return has greatly increased for the long-term stock market investor. People argue that tax consequences are their reason for holding. That argument lacks weight. It is very difficult for some people to break away ...

- 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. While it can be a worthy guide, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission warns against using past performance as an investor's only resource tool. 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.
