An article of 919 words describing what types of Mutual Funds are available and how to best use the funds to maximize your return with lowest risk considering your investing time horizon.
Wondering what to do and what time frame to do your investing in? Here are some ideas to assist you in your investments.

Stick with stock funds. As long as you have five or more years until you need the money, stock funds will likely provide you with superior returns over any other investment. But you have to be patient. In the short term, the market is very volatile, so don't fret when the market drops 10 percent in a week, or your account seems to be worth a lot less than it was last month. Over five, ten, or 20 years, you'll come out much further ahead by sticking with stock funds.
