I am looking for an agency to take my 401K to but unsure of where to start but I know I want to put it into a growth stock mutual fund.
Should I withdraw my funds first or contact (insert name here)?
Thanks!

Marcus N asked:
I want to buy some mutual funds now but I remember hearing something about taxes mutual funds pay. So I will get hit with that bill right? Is there a better or worse time of year to buy mutual funds?

Bob F asked: I am purchasing my first home and need to sell several of my mutual funds for the down payment. Unfortunately, I am going to take a big hit when I have to pay the capital gains tax from the sale of the mutual funds.
Is there any way that I can apply these capital gains towards the down payment of the new house to decrease my taxes? If not, are there any other suggestions to decrease my capital gains tax?
Frankly, having my mutual funds do well enough to require capital gains tax is not a bad problem to have. It means they have done well over the past few years. I just want to know if I can do anything to improve my tax situation.

GC Tallyho asked:
I researched about 25 to 30 Mutual funds in order to buy six to ten funds and was surprised to see almost all went down in November. I would like to buy, but am not sure if Mutual funds have a history of going down in December. Does anybody know?

Big Ron asked: For example, all mutual funds that hold AT&T (T)?
Keep in mind that AT&T was just an example. I want to be able to search mutual funds based on any particular stock it may hold. Where could I search for this information?

Im2hard2please asked:
I keep hearing that one should invest in mutual funds that are a combination of around 60% stocks and 40% mutual funds. Can someone knowledgeable in mutual funds recommend a company (like Vangard for Fidelity) that sells mutual fund that invests with this arrangement (60/40)?
Thanks guys….this is great advice….all of it. I will heed your guidance. Wonder when the bottom is going to drop out of the stock market again?

seena asked:
Hi,
I am new to this area of finance and have no experience or backround education in it. I wanted to know how to determine which funds are the best to invest in. I have read some material online (limited myselfto top performing funds) but still feel vulnerable since I don’t feel I have knowledge whatsoever to feel confident that a particular fund is what will be suitable for me. Are there any indicators which one should look while chooosing mutual funds?
