Do Lifestyle funds provide greater security?
With the stock market stubbornly refusing to settle down andsmooth out, Wall Street has been scrambling to come up with"product" they can sell to gun shy investors. One such new concept is the Lifestyle fund; an extremely diversifiedpackage designed to be the single fund in an investor'sportfolio. There are two general types of these funds, in which assetsare spread out across a wide range of stocks and bonds. Inone, securities are held directly, in the other, assets areheld through other funds. Fidelity's Freedom 2030 is an example of the first type.
Ittargets a specific retirement date, and the cash and bondstakes rise as that date approaches. This type of fund has created a perception among investors that its value will not drop and that it is safe. But, in fact, these are no safer than a standard mutual fund. Since we sold all of our investment positions on October 13,2000 and preserved our capital, Fidelity Freedom 2030 has lost39% (through 2/21/03). Do you think that's an...

SECRET FEES MAKE MUTUAL FUNDS BILLIONS AT YOUR EXPENSE!
Many investors think that investing in mutual funds is free. What nonsense! Funds collect more than $50 billion a year in fees from investors. That is truly a ton of money. The first way you get hosed in a mutual fund is due to high fees charged. These fees can dramatically reduce your returns over time! The way that these fees are deducted automatically from a fund's returns makes them invisible because you never see an invoice or have to write a check.
If you invest $10,000.00 in a domestic stock mutual fund with an expense ratio of 2% and a sales load of 3%, and let's imagine that you get annual returns of 7.5% for twenty years, your money would almost triple to $27,508.00. The bad news is that you would have lost $14,970 in fees and foregone earnings over the twenty years. Yikes?that really hurts! Why not just bypass the system and buy your own stocks as I teach finance students and home study investors? These funds are also sold and managed on pure hype, short term trading,...

EFX Williamsburg Announces New FOREX Platform for Hedge Funds
Williamsburg, VA (ContentDesk) October 10, 2005 -- EFX Group/Williamsburg, a branch office of El Segundo, Calif.-based EFX Group and an introducing broker for MBTT announced a new FOREX trading platform for hedge funds and institutions.Unlike most FOREX trading firms, MBTT does not have a deal desk between you and your orders.
MBTT utilizes Straight Through Processing (STP), sending your orders directly to various banks and eliminating the potential for markup or spread manipulation.
STP also prevents instances where you may be re-quoted, which generally occur when it is in the deal desk's best interest to delay the execution of your order, acting against your best interests.
"There are a lot of myths about the FOREX market that we are shattering" says EFX Williamsburg Branch Manager Lee Young.
Fixed spreads are a way for FCMs to markup or markdown the best bid or offer.
FCMs do this to hide their fee into the price of the currency pair instead...
