i think the some believe ROI is more important than benchmark or whatever it tracks.

in investment the returns and risks can be quantified- its not a personal issue or believe.facts that can be accounted for are not to be slighted

well what is ROI on funds?this is really an eye opener defense i hv ever encounter.do you actually kmnow how fund returns are measured?

but these quantified risk are managed and monitored by the fund manager....the some would just believes in seeing consistent impressive annualized ROI records.

no, i don't know....
would you please ?

well presumably you are the financial adviser if not pls check with the financial planners -they can provide you with a synopsis of return vs risk metrics . i m here to participate in a discourse on fund investing not educating the masses

if the investor does not even know about the risk reward characteristic of the fund,he should refrain from investing in the instrument.its not good to talk only about return-the average investor must also know the amount of risk he is undertaking for this expected rate of return

as i believes these "return vs risk metrics" or any "technical terms used by the other some.....should be handled by the fund manager as they have the financial adviser and planner and BIG computers....
then i believes some would just be happy if the fund can give an annalised returns of > 10% for the past 10 years.

i believes if you want to participate in the discourse on fund investing....particularly your post in 2931.....then it is best to talk to the originator of that article....the website and contacts are there too......and not educating the masses here.

as i had said...some believes and are happy with that.

risk vs rewards are simple mathematical formula-readily available in most prospectus or annual report -the average investor needs only to peruse the performance against the benchmark index thats it full stop
i wont even bother to go into the intricate details

do you understand the english word -discourse

wellfyi it means debate

there are always 2 sides of a coin....
there are always 2 views on a half glass of water....

if want to debate about the point 3......you know where to get the contact of the originator of that article.

like you just mentioned.....why educating the masses here by debating?

well perhaps we should conduct all discussions with this i believe stuff , relegate and consigned all scientific or financial theories to some inconsequential rubbish bin.nobel price winners like sharpe,markowitz who have contributed to modern day investment be denigrated as mere silly fellows as i believe is of lesser intelligence to i believe investors

you are really brilliant mr i believe.thanks for the amusing evening

.......so you believes too?

....so you believes too mum ?

I believes, those are analyzing tools that can helps in providing data to make "informed" decisions.
I believes, they "would/should" have been used by the FH or rating agencies....
I and some of us that whom are "just small retail investors" would just have to "believes" at the past performance track records, lipper rating, morning stars, fsm star rating, our own portfolio allocation needs and risk appetite in making the decision to buy or sell.
btw,...making "informed" decision may not mean "correct" decision.

wondering whether these analyzing tools had been established in 1999?
wondering what did the analyzing data compute about the DOT COM?
must be "positive" I think.....else most dot com funds would have bailed out..

All your "Do" list looks like not for newbie.

Needs to have lots of prior knowledge.

in that post got links for more details/lessons

Saw the "Do" list in Lesson 7.
