Morningstar is a nice resource, but remember it is strictly backwards-looking analysis. Kiplingers is OK but is biased towards no loads. (There is a recent study out in the Journal of Financial Planning {October, 2005} that challenges the idea that index funds always outperform actively managed funds.\n\nHere's what I start with when looking for a fund to fill an asset category:\nPerformance relative to peers\nAsset size (Avoid the bloated funds)\nManager Tenure (Great 5 & 10 year numbers mean little if the manager has only been there for 2 years)\nFee structure\n\nThe important thing to remember is to allocate your assets in a manner in line with your time horizon and risk tolerance and DON'T CHASE PERFORMANCE. This years winners are not usually on the top of the heap next year.\n\nIt is never a bad idea to consult a financial planner, either.

I don't know if there is a list somewhere, but Microsoft and Cisco are the two companies I know that are generating cash every quarter. Last time I checked, Cisco was generating over $1 Billion in cash every quarter.

I started my investing with Edward Jones. They are lucrative and they have strict requirements before even considering someone for employment.  I have long since moved onto my own (and have done very well at it too) for first timers go ahead and pay the fees to invest in the long run its worth it.

hedge fund generally refers to a lightly regulated private investment fund sometimes characterized by unconventional strategies (e.g., strategies other than investing long only in bonds, equities or money markets). They are primarily organized as limited partnerships, and previously were often simply called "limited partnerships" and were grouped with other similar partnerships such as those that invested in oil development.

Hedge fund cowboys are smart and crafty, so I wouldn't put it past em.  I'd invest instead in Whole Foods Market, and that's where I'd go to fix health problems instead of using doctors.

Forbes magazine has annual lists of top producing funds, and their managers. Money magazine also does this. You can also go to Morningstar's web site (same name) and they also rank performance. One thing that I have heard and read over and over again is that you want to find a fund that has good history not only with the fund managers, but also their assistants.

I like Legg Mason Partners Funds (formerly called Smith Barney) because they have a long history of success. In the past 25 years, the aggressive growth fund has perform an average rate of 14%.\n\nIf you prefer companies that has perform pretty well in the past 5 years, I would pick Fidelity Funds, but they are pretty young and they seem to heading in the right direction. Only reason they are not in my portfolio because they have no 10 year past performance.

Unfortunately, one can't simply just "buy" a hedge fund. A hedge fund is an investment vehicle for "accredited" investors. By accredited i mean over 250K in annual income and over 1M in net worth. Hedge funds can only have 99 investors in order to not register with the SEC and most of their clients include large institutions and high net worth individuals.

Well, they aren't out there.  No one has done a comparative, to be published on the web.  But here's what you need to do:\n\n\n You can select 20 publicly traded companies out of the air, here in the US.  Then for each one, \n\nGo to www.sec.gov  click on EDGAR on left\nGo to company filings\nClick on form search - Get the 10-k Audited financials\n\nAll that information will be there.  And it's free.  Print it out, then you can get your own industry average.  \n\nKeep in mind, there are "good" companies and "bad" companies.  Countrywide is rated C, with downward prospects, by AM Best.  They're a financially challenged company, and will be much less profitable than a State Farm or Allstate, for example, both of whom are rated A.

Okay let's start with American Funds which is who runs ICA.  AF is an awesome fund company for a couple of reasons.  One they are a private company which means they only answer to their MF holders.  Unlike a company like Fidelity which is a good company also but they are owed by stock holders.  In the long run the company that only answers to you the MF holder is going to look out for your best interest and returns more diligently.  They also have some of the lowest annual fees to maintain an account of any MF company.  All that being said, depending on your situation ICA may or may not be good for you.  You need a competent advisor to help you with that.  I would be cautious with ICA as it is one of the largest MF in the world.  They may seem like a good thing but it actually can be bad.  It means it has much less flexibility to move its money around when condititon warrant it.  As far as EJ goes, they hire people on average who have very little experience in the industry, so at a minimum make sure your rep has a lot of experience and didn't just start last month at this.  They also have agreements with companies like American Funds where their reps get a bigger commission to them then they do with other products.  The concern being your advice from EJ might be tainted by the reps desire to get more commission.  You need to work with an independant rep to assist you with you decisions.   One who will give you all the information and doesn't have a hidden agenda.  If you want to send me email and tell me what state you're in I probably could refer you to a couple.  Good luck.

you gotta have a good pedigree. the know-how on fund management. search for an established firm specialising in hedge fund start-up. make sure they have the expertise; especially in jurisdiction, taxation etc. and most importatntly, you gotta have investors ready to pump in the dollars.
