"So, how come most of my mutual funds are DOWN, then?"

Time to fire those fund managers and buy some winning funds.

Wish I knew. Maybe you should consider getting a financial advisor, or firing the one you have now.

Couldn't say, 80% of mine are up today and 100% of mine are up for the year. No BS. I look at my portfolio every quarter and re-balance (on average) every 9 months.

It is difficult to find a stock mutual fund that's down this year. You must own bond funds. Most of those are down.

I don't know. Most of the stock mutual funds have been going up for quite a while.

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.
