What do you like, not like, etc.

What do you like to use to read up on them, etc.

Any cost that you incur in buying or owning a mutual fund decreases your overall return.

I would alway suggest to everyone who invests to buy funds that have no loads, no transaction fees, and low operating expenses.

So it's kind of a strange question to ask if reducing unnecessary fees is a good thing. Yes, keeping your money is a good thing.

Yes. Thanks. I agree 100%. What are some of said funds that you like?

I believe in indexing.

In fact, I am a purist.

I am 100% indexed in Vanguard's family of index funds. You won't find a better mutual fund company than Vanguard.

Here's my questions for you. I like Vanguard as well and I like Fidelity. The company that I use for my Roth is Scottrade. Apparently those two aren't "on" their "list" -- does that mean I can't buy them with that account?

(Yeah, I know I could call Scottrade... but you seem to know your stuff.)
