Question by clarklb: are energy mutual funds still a good investment?

Best answer:

Answer by ybhviper
I would say sugar and oil for sure. BUT if you need that money dont invest in energy funds as it is very volitile to risk so it could be down 10 percent one day and up 20 another. So if your gonna invest in energy do some reading most of them have redemption fees if sold under a year. Id advise against it unless you already have other investments.

I plan on investing some money for the long term(20+ yrs) and I’m eying energy based mutual funds. Could someone suggest a fund that looks steady and strong? Thanks.

I am hoping to invest in a stock that is 1-15 dollars a share. I have 50 dollars to invest in so i would like to get a few shares of something ( it depends on the price). I was looking for basically a stock that will be increasing with Obama’s plans of change. If you know any stocks that are increasing that aren’t related to Obama, i would love to know them also! I was also looking for some good companies in alternative energy that stocks should be going up in. What are major companies for alternative energy? I also know Technology stocks are rising. Is Dell a good choice? Well, thanks in advance!!!

I want to know if it is at this point “wise” to buy stocks and invest in technologies such as Hybrid manufacturing and other alternative energy technologies since I believe this is the future of automation. With the intrdouction of Hybrids by car manfacturers I believe that eventually it will replace gasoline powered cars.

I’m a young working computer professional with a growing investment portfolio. I take most of my financial adviser’s advice on what funds to pick, but he’s put a substantial amount of my investment money into Asian mutual funds. Given some the geopolitical issues with China and Chinese products (China’s growing military spending, North American trade deficits, China’s poor environmental policy, and a growing track record of unsafe/dangerous products — toothpaste, pet food, toys, etc, etc), I’ve gotten to the point where I consider holding these investments to be, at best, somewhat unethical. This is not a financially motivated question; It’s an ethical one. I would like some advice/guidance on what would be good investments into North American companies dedicated to developing the products and technology of greener future. I’m still looking for returns on my investments dollars, but I’d like to know I’m part of the solution, not the problem. What are the right investments for me?
