Mutual funds are a great way to invest but there are top no load mutual funds to avoid. The advantage of mutual funds is their diversification and the fact they are managed by professional mutual fund managers. The best no load mutual funds are ones that have experienced managers who have a track record of success. When considering a mutual fund, the top no load mutual funds to avoid are ones that have managers who have performed poorly in the past and have not performed well over the last five years.
Green investing is becoming more common and the future of green mutual funds looks bright. Since the future of green mutual funds looks good, try to find a fund with green companies. Green investing is projected to be a $260 billion industry within 10 years, so it's likely that the best no load mutual funds will have a green component to them and that the top no load mutual funds to avoid will not have green companies as part of the portfolio.
Top no load mutual funds to avoid are ones that don't have a mix of the right types of investments that are right for you. If you're close to retirement age you would not want to invest in stocks of small upstart companies that could potentially lose money quickly. Likewise, if your time horizon is long then you would want to invest more heavily in stocks. Here's a quick list of the worst performing funds of 2008:
1. Bill Miller's Legg Mason Opportunity Trust
Took an annual loss of 66% for 2008.
2. Winslow Green Growth Fund
Selected some green companies with too high of debt and got burned. Down 61% in 2008.
3. Bill Miller's Legg Mason Growth Trust
Once a top performing fund. Took a hit of 60.4% in 2008 because of picks like beleaguered Amazon.com, Yahoo!, and Expedia.

August 25th, 2010 at 12:40 pmI think the thing that the most when working with “new brides” is their zest for life and their bright outlook towards the future. It gives me great pleasure when we can help them choose the right travel package. I would be interested in you input as to the most exotic place you would recommend for a honeymoon. Curious to see your response.
