Rick asked:


I currently have my RRSP with Laurentian Bank and have been solicited to meet with a RBC manager to have a look at my RRSP performance. According to him, they have historically performed the best with regards to mutual funds for risky investors. Is this claim justified? Am I better off with my current bank or a third option?

Warren Buffet has stated that he sees a “long and depp recession for the U.S.” How will a long and deep recession impact someone that is just starting to invest in mutual funds but is expecting to need that money in a period of 5-7 years? What if they need that money in the next 10 years?

Warren Buffett: Distressed Assets a Great Investment

Sunday, June 20th, 2010
investingwisely asked:


Warren Buffett says that distressed assets are a great investment in an interview with Charlie Rose. He talks about Mortgage-Backed Securities, the government bailout. He says if you buy distressed assets at distressed prices, you will make money. He also mentions his confidence in the US economy over time, and closes with his classic quote: “You want to be greedy when others are fearful, you want to be fearful when others are greedy.”

Nav asked:


I recently opened a Roth IRA account with Sharebuilder (owned by ING Direct). They only list ING Mutual Funds on their website. (However there are a lot more stocks and ETFs listed). I’m interested in investing in a Vanguard Mutual Fund. Is it possible to do it through my Roth IRA account on Sharebuilder?

I am 20. I have never invested before. I have $1000 that I can invest. I would want to invest it for 3 years.

Is now a good bottom to get in the market in mutual funds and in 3 years would the market pick up? I understand this is all speculation but if you have any advice a source (articles etc) would be appreciated to back it up.

Thanks
