My parents need some advice. They have $62,000, and it's their entire nest
egg. They collect $1,400 a month in Social Security and have no other source
of income. How should they invest their $62,000? |

I have recently changed jobs and I'm rolling my 401(k) account over into an
IRA. My broker wants me to put all the money ($24,000) into AIM mutual
funds: Aggressive Growth, Blue Chip, Constellation, Global
Telecommunications and Technology, Select Growth, Value and Weingarten. I am
29 and want to be pretty aggressive. Is there a better fund family? What do
you think of the AIM funds? |

I need advice on short-term investing. I have about $2,000 saved for a
house down payment and want to put it in a low-risk, high-earning mutual
fund for about three years. I have relatively low tolerance for losing the
principal. The only other savings I have is my $15,000 retirement fund.
Would you recommend a good mutual fund for this investment? |

I am in the
military and will retire next year with a pension of about $17,500, indexed
to inflation. I need an income of $40,000 a year, indexed to inflation. I
have about $110,000 in certificates of deposit that I have saved to buy a
home. In addition, we have about $425,000 in
taxable and tax-deferred mutual fund accounts, including Vanguard 500
Index, Vanguard Total Stock Market, Vanguard Extended Market, Vanguard Total
International Stock Market, Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Annuity and White Oak
Growth Fund. Can I realistically retire next year on this income and these
investments? |

I am 27, married and have two daughters, 17 months and one
month old. I just bought a house and have about $2,000 in savings. How do I
start investing for college for both girls, retirement and emergencies? I
make about $40,000 a year, and my wife stays home with the girls. I have no
debt except a mortgage and a car loan. How would you recommend I get
started? |

I enjoyed your column "Do Mutual Funds Split?" But in the last
paragraph I was confused by your statement about large mutual funds
"hitting a natural brake." I am heavily invested in Fidelity
Magellan Fund through my 401(k), and it sounds to me like that fund’s
future growth might be restricted in some "natural" manner. Please
help me understand this further. |

I would like your opinion on the wisdom of investing in the T. Rowe Price
International Stock Fund. It is the only international fund I have available
through my work.
First of all, it’s a fine idea to invest in an international fund, and
I presume you are speaking of a 401(k) or similar retirement plan.
Second, if this is the only international fund available, then I think
your real question should be something like this: "I want to invest in
an international fund, and the only one available to me is T. Rowe Price
International Stock. Is there any reason I should avoid this fund?" |

In 1978 I inherited some stock which I consider to be my 16-year-old’s
college fund. Those shares are now worth more than he’ll ever need for
college. He will earn $2,000 this year, and I want to set him up with a
$2,000 Roth IRA. Which Vanguard fund should I use to start the Roth IRA? |

I have been a buy-and-hold investor for about four years, and I invest in
mutual funds. One of my funds is AIM Global Technology, which I bought in
October 1999. It grew to a gain of 135 percent, only to fall back to a gain
of about 18 percent. Would it have been wise to sell some or all of my
shares when they were up 50 to 60 percent? Or is a buy-and-hold approach
still the way to go? |
