• online investing in mutual funds in India?

  1. Is it better to invest online of AMC(Asset Management companies) like Sundaram BNP Paribas at http://www.sundarambnpparibas.in/invest_online/ or go through Sharekhan, ICICIdirect which charge a fee of 2-3% of the investment amount?

  The advantage of ICICI direct is I submit my information to them once whereas if I want to invest in Reliance Mutual Fund, I have to go to their site, submit my info after which i can start investing with them.

  2. Are there other banks which offer online investing facility for a low flat fee per year?

• Should I invest in a Roth IRA or a mutual fund that I can cash out at any time without penalty?

  I’m 22 years old, in the military and make 2,753 a month after taxes, including BAH. I’m in the process of saving 1500 a month for the next year for a downpayment on a house. At the same time, I’d like to begin investing. I’m wondering, since I’m young, if I should begin investing in mutual funds that I can cash out in 15 years after I pay off my first house or if I should just put my money (planning on 15% of monthly income) into a Roth IRA, so I’ll have a good retirement fund? Or should I split my 15% between a Roth IRA and a mutual fund that I could cash out without penalty before retirement?
  I was thinking of cashing out a PORTION of my Roth IRA at 60 and just cashing out enough to live off of every few years after that. The other mutual fund I was wanting to cash out in 10 – 20 years for a bigger house.

• Mutual Fund Operating Expenses?

  I have been investing in Mutual Funds for several years. I always put money in, and never take it out. I have never seen a statement that indicated any amount of money being removed from my account for "operating expenses". But I know the Fund company collects somehow. Where do they get their money? When I withdrawl? Or do they take a little of the profits of the Funds themselves.

• I'm 20 and work for min. wage. What's the best way for me to start investing? I hv $1000 to start then $100/m?

  I want to get into the habit of investing before I’m 21. I’ve looked at a lot of online discount brokers but can’t decide which one to go with. I am about to open an account with Sharebuilder since they make the whole process very easy but the access they provide to stocks and mutual funds seems very limited. I need advice from someone who’s been there and done that. Is sharebuilder right for me? Should I focus on investing in mutual funds? I have about a 1000 bucks to start with and then I can put in a couple hundred bucks every month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Also, I’m originally from India, so I would love to invest in some mutual funds in India. If anybody has any tips to share about investing abroad, that would be very helpful!

• Investing in Real Estate and Financials now, good or bad?

  My understanding of the global financial crisis is that it was largely brought about by the collapse of the real estate and financial industries.

  My understanding of stock market investing in general (not much) is that I should buy stock/mutual funds when they are very low so that I can sell them for profit when they are very high.

  Since financials and real estate stock is very low because of their recent collapse I would think they would be a worthy investment right now since they will probably improve later.

  This would be investing in mutual funds that specialize in real estate or financials.

  What do you think? Would they be good investments? Also, please state your qualifications (if any) to give this kind of advice.

  If they aren’t good is there another industry that you can suggest?

  Thanks!
