Stop and think for a minute. Suppose there were a "best" mutual fund and
then everybody found out about it. Because of the demand, its price would
shoot up, and all the other mutual funds would go out of business. See? With
some thought you can answer your own question!

So what about the 90 days? What happens in 90 days that you'll be
able to give OP advice?

Actully MF prices don't "shoot up" just because a lot of people buy
into it.

Maybe not a lot of people, but suppose everybody bought into it. If there
were one clear winner, as the OP seemed to believe, would you not expect
everyone to become aware of that fact and to choose it?

Sure...I'll tell you in 90 days. That is the problem. You
cannot know the answer. You can, however, find fixed income
funds that have reasonable returns and are reasonably safe.
But if you want better than reasonable, then all bets are off.

Don, Peter is right, but not explaining to you why you are mistaken. A
fund will trade at the value of its assets. I trust we are talking about
open ended funds, not closed end, which can trade at a premium or discount
to NAV. People flocking to a fund will ultimately impact the value of the
shares it contains. For example, VFINX (Vanguard 500 index) has 3.35% of
its assets in Exxon/Mobil. So of the $139 per fund share,

A 60-40 balanced fund is pretty safe.
I've had one for the past 15 years thats gone up about five times.
It lags stock booms, but outperforms dips.

value of the shares it contains. For example, VFINX (Vanguard 500 index)
has 3.35% of its assets in Exxon/Mobil. So of the $139 per fund share,
there's about $4 in XOM, about .04 shares. A billion dollar move into
VFINX results in $33.5M buying XOM, about 360,000 shares. Given the 31
million shares that traded today, that billion dollars would hardly move
the stock. In fact, VFINX would just buy the shares, and the fund that
people are bailing out of would sell their holdings and the net effect
on Exxon's price would be minimal.
Now, if it were VFINX everyone bought, eventually there would be an
imbalance, as the S&P got overpriced compared to the next 500 or 1000
stocks and eventually, people would come to their senses.

If you want "safe", stick with a money market account or bank CD or
savings account.

Mutual funds generally are not "safe", and the best one to invest in
depends on your goals, risk tolerance, how long it's going to be
before you're going to need the money, whether this is for a regular
investment account or IRA, whether you need current income or are
investing for long-term growth, etc. Since you didn't tell us any of
those things, it's impossible to make suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. You sound knowledgeable about this. I intend
to invest for long term growth. I am also seeking for the best books
to read about this. Any ideas?
