Forget about today. Don't worry about a week or a month. Worry about how they've done since the first of the year. Put the symbols in the following link and, once you have the fund on the screen, click on "performance". You'll be able to see year to date and annual and monthly numbers.

If you don't know the symbols, look your funds up here:

Ok, I'm better. All but one are doing fine this year. :-)
Thanks!
My natural resources and precious metals funds are sizzling!
Latin American funds are also very hot. But don't make these special funds a large part of your portfolio. They're very volatile.
It's not how much you make it's how much you keep. ; )
Our budget deficit is $730 billion annually?

</s> sarcasm tags are for amateurs! =P
check out the responses to my post above. someone didnt pick up on the sarcasm at all.
as for me, I'm about to graduate from UT with a BSME, and I fell I'm up on the latest tech news.
What kind of work do you do?
heh, good for you! I hope I'll be saying the same a decade from now. =)
I get MSN news blurbs on my web browser homepage every time I turn it on. Not once during the Bush presidency has it ever headlined anything positive about his years. In fact when it does mention Bush, it's always in negative terms. The huge upturn in the Dow as well as the low unemployment rate etc. have gone unreported by them. However they have headlined "the housing bubble". No news that more people own their homes than ever...just bad "news" about the "bubble".
I assume that if there is a Republican prez for the next twenty years, I never will read about any positive economic or social news on my browser. The simple fact is Big Media can't stand to print good news when a Republican is prez.
That's interesting. I didn't know anybody who owned forty acres of land when I was growing up in the sixties. Now I know all sorts of people who own large acreages. Both our stories are anecdotal, but I'll bet individual Americans today have a lot more personal wealth than they did forty years ago. And life was pretty good then too.
I bought a REXON in 1978 for $25,000. It had 32 ram and a 14" hard drive that could store 48 meg. Software in Basic cost me another 25K. I could do data entry all day.
Those at the bottom (labor) are doing better but grumble about gas prices.
Until real interest rates turn negative (politically impossible) the commodities bull will prevail.
