Why Invest In Index Funds?

Why Invest In Index Funds? I was answering a post for someone else about index funds and it reminded me of a book I read. I think it’s important to understand why index funds are so good by understanding where and why they were created. I thought this group would be interested in it since we suggest them so often in this forum. The book is called “The Little Book of Commo…

Fidelity Mutual Funds Help For Newbie

Asking again, sorry. My previous employer went out of business Dec 31, 2023. The company who holds my 401k/roth funds will not allow me to transfer the funds. My last paycheck and fire date were in January. The rep from the 401k dump repeats “we can’t do anything until your employer signs the form verifying they closed (or similar wording)” Is it really up to me to track down and beg my old employer to sign this form? Doesn’t make sense. I asked if there’s a time limit where I can eventually access m…

What happens to my funds in my old 401K when rolling over to new 401k Hello! I have recently switched jobs and am debating if I need to rollover my old 401K. I am curious as to what happens to the funds within my old 401K and capital gains on my investment when rolling over. For example, if I contributed $5000 in my old 401k but it grew to $7000, would $7000 be going into my new 401k? Sorry for a dumb question but…

Do Bond Funds Make Sense In Ultra-Low Interest Rate Environment? If we’re ever again in a situation with ultra-low interest rates like pre-covid, do bond index funds make sense given that you’re not receiving much of a yield and the price of the bond can only go down? Would it be better to just buy a CD/Bond ladder at that point? I’m assuming that they still do make sense, but can’t think it through so please…
