Hi Tom, Your correct that Mutual Funds act a bit differently than stocks. For one thing most funds will not tell you what they currently hold, so it's harder to research a fund's projected performance than it is a stock's. On the other hand I am not sure how much weight one should give the analyst opinions in light of their track records and possible conflicts of interest. Both of these portfolios are with Schwab and contain three of their Index funds. Schwab International Index (SWINX), Schwab Small Cap Index ( SWSMX), and Schwab S 500 Index (SWPIX). Now that I have discovered AIM and since I think the market is going to be moving more sideways than up or down in the next year or two, I plan to reevaluate these choices. I may go with some of the more volatile Index funds. I used to own TWCUX when it was still operated by Twentieth Century. It made me a lot of money. I sold it when it fell behind the market. This was probably back in the 1980's. Larry M
