tonorator Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 i must share for those thinking about investing. you simply must think long and hard about emerging markets. all major global companies are killing themselves to tap into the massive growth potential of developing regions and that growth is kicking in. if you are a newbie investor, go for a mutual fund that specializes in emerging markets, such as this. that's a 5 year growth chart! i sunk some cash into this about a year ago and have enjoy a straight shot up 70% return. this is not going to die down anytime soon. if you don't have part of your portfolio in emerging markets, you are missing out (imho). vanguard is about the most conservative mutual fund company out there, just mirroring the indexes straight up. do your own research, as always, but you need to realize this trend is very real. this is coming from my pure desire to see my fellow tailgaters prosper. you shouldn't miss out on this because you were not aware. and no, i'm not an employee of vanguard, nor do i stand to personally gain from this in any way. i would be happy to provide more perspective if you want to PM me. i'm sure those tailgaters who work in the investing world can chime in as well.

I can't, nor can anyone else in the investment field, offer financial advice on message boards. There is something called Blue Sky Laws which protect the investor against the very activity of advice from a person not registered in your state about specific investments without a prospectus. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncosn05 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Wurd bro I'm up 32.5% on the $1,000 I started with in the beginning of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I don't think you'll get in trouble for this here - rats aren't allowed on this board! So, it looks like that one is up 500% over 4.5 years then? Nice. I've got 35% of my 401(k) in EuroPacific right now, and its far outpacing the domestic stuff. I'm pretty happy about it - takes some of the sting out of the -10% on the house.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Don't think my 401k has an emerging markets fund. I do have quite a lot in foreign stock though, which is doing quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Wal-Mart stock with a 15% employee match. A rock that should take me home over the long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) As of yesterday my 401K was at 30% return ytd. My two most successful funds are foreign - Fidelity Canada (FICDX) up over 40% on the year and Fidelity Nordic (FNORX) up around 30% IIRC.

Fidelity seems like the best company to be with of the big ones at least. I'm thinking of opening a Roth with them. When I can actually get the initial deposit together.

I am not a stock broker...don't want to be one. Your advice is horsepoopy poopster poop poop poop. Daytraders make on average 3% less than the S&P 500 index. The word average suggests there are some who perform above and some below...in a given year. I would say when I compare the relative ignorance you have shown on this board....I am confident I can call you a poser and send you to bed. BTW, I don't do my own plumbing or anything else I can pay a professional to do for me. Do you pay for lawyers....I mean with all those do your will and power of attorney software sites out there....sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmarc117 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) nor am i a daytrader, but keep trying. the stock market is not rocket science, all you need to do is a little home work. i admire you defending your worthiness, we all would do the same. but its simple, people do not need to spend money on guys like you. simple fact. the guys here are smart. just cause you can afford to pay someone to do something means you should? come on, thats great advice. i'd rather do it by myself. comparing law to the stock market is great too.

What, will and power of attorneys is rocket science? LOL. My guess is that 80% of the people on this board wouldn't break 8% over a ten year period. My guess is you haven't broken 8% over a ten year period. Keep posting your bullcrap....that is all it is. It is one thing to invest "mad money" on your own. But your entire investment portfolio....when you are at work when the market is open...that invites trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 1) It's never a bad idea to listen to advice. 2) It's a bad idea to be a lemming. 3) Some financial advisors would help their clients more if they changed professions. 4) Some financial advisors need to charge more money.
