• New to investing – Why are stock mutual funds doing so poorly?

  Almost every mutual fund with major blue chip stocks has taken a hit. Some of them are actively managed. If this is the case, then why don’t these managers "time the market" and get totally out – For example – a fund invested in all Blue Chip stocks…..if they are all losing about 30% this year, then why are the fund managers holding any of it? They say market timing should be reserved for experts – so why don’t they back completely out in a down period like this?
