What I hate about mutual funds - oops, wrong place, but I'm leaving it here because

[tbyg52]

back when I posted a request for help with my oven both in the lounge and home improvement, I got a lot more help in the lounge....! ;)

Is the way you don't know what you'll get until they're sold and what they cost until they're bought.

I'm looking at the US markets (inexplicably, to me) go up, and I'd love to get out of some things I've decided to dump, but what if it takes a dive in the last five minutes?

Plus it is disturbing my sleep at night. I'll probably be at a net plus (barely) at the end of the day today, but I'm really thinking I'd rather pull it all out and dump it in some CDs.

I finally got the nerve to try mutual funds in 2005, and at one point I was all giggly because I had $9K profit. Now that's all gone, and I'm a hair in the hole. I just don't think I have the temperament for this, especially the way things are now.

Thank you, anyone who reads this, for listening to me moan.
