I'm familiar with index and growth funds. Mutual funds are a good idea if your thinking 50 years down the road. But really no point in starting one right now. If you've got one that been growing for a while is it best to just leave it where it is or pull it out if you can?
Depends on the type of fund, when the fund was started, and how liquid you are as an individual.
Some of the stuff I'm looking at is not pretty. Whether it be technical analysis as in Elliott Wave Theory or cycle analysis, or fundamental analysis of our own economy, the stock market is insanely over-valued. We could seriously drop back to the March 09 lows rather quickly if the EU collapses. Then add in commercial real estate, more general real estate, the gulf disaster, and the fact that US debt to GDP ratios are at historic levels, another deflationary collapse is 99% certain. Probably has begun already looking at technicals.
If this is a 30-year thing, might be a good idea to hold if it is an equity fund. I think we see another major deflationary collapse for a couple years, then an inflationary debacle when the printing presses start.

No deal, that would be the worst investment I've ever made.
