Go to morningstar and look up the weighted average PE ratios of the funds for stock funds and duration for the bond funds.  As most funds underperform the indices over time, treat them as index funds.\n\nFor stocks, never hold a fund with a PE over 15.  It works out that unless your expected return is very low, fifteen is a good rule of thumb for discounted cash flows to time 0, as an upper bound for price.  You can take the PE, find the estimated growth of the indices and go to moneychimp.com and estimate return.  Keep tinkering with the growth rate until 1.00 in earnings yields a PE of the same value.\n\nFor bond funds, look up the duration and credit quality.  Junk bonds can lose extraordinary amounts in stressful times.  I remember a time in the '90's where one third of junk simply was written off the balance sheets of funds.  In any case, look up the duration.  Figure out the weighting between classes (morningstar should tell you) and go the the Financial Times of London or Barrons or the Wall Street Journal and look up the yield for that approximate duration or average maturity.  That minus the fees will be your yield.\n\nCompare this to your goals.\n\nMy guess is that if you do this, you will be in for a shock and be very upset and disappointed.  You might then look at bankrate.com and buy a moneymarket or CD from GMAC Bank or the State Bank of India (member FDIC).  You will likely do better than in the markets.  Prices are high in most funds relative to what they provide.\n\nMy checking account at GMAC Bank pays me 4.65% and I am globally among the best investors in the world, from a purely statistical perspective.  Most general public investors are in over their heads but they don't know it.  The professionals don't want to tell people because if you withdrawal your money they get lower fees.\n\nThere are not a lot of funds that are reasonably priced compared to their underlying assets, and have a good management history.  I know, I have looked and I am trained to evaluate portfolios.

Only way that I am aware of is to effectively transfer the mutual funds into an RRSP (if you still have RRSP room left).

Actually, there is not difference in costs assuming they are open ended funds.  Closed end funds carry the cost of brokerage commissions to buy and sell so with those there would be a slight difference.  \n\nIn general one is better off risk and reward wise owning several different funds with different investment philosophies.  It tends to avoid specific risk.

Yup.  Banks that have FDIC-insured accounts are closed today in observance of Veteran's Day.\n\nGood luck.

They were bought out or merged.  I don't remember who by.  I should, though, I own a mutual fund through them.

There are 100 different sites that do this.  Be careful trading stocks though.  After you bankrupt yourself, switch to a diversified portfolio of high-quality low-expense mutual funds.\n\n--J.

You can go to this Morning Star site and get the best performing funds for the past year. It is ProFunds UltraJapan Inv.  Unfortunately funds that do the best one year frequently do terribly the next year.  You can also get the funds that have done best over the last 3, 5, and 10 years.  Unfortunately studies have proven that even funds with good 10 years records have a tendency to underperform the market in the future.  The Magellan fund had the best record ~15 years ago,  over the last 10 years it has not done well.

NTDOY is an ADR (American Depository Receipt)  The reason you don't see any volume is because the only way to buy it is for your broker to have the shares bought in Japan and then they will create the ADR and put it in your account.  You will have to put a limit order in as Good Till Cancel since Japan is not open during US hours.  You will also have exchange rate risk since when you go sell the exchange you will get on $/Yen will be different from when you buy.

Contact the Edward Jones investment rep nearest you.  Go to their website at www.edwardjones.com and enter your zip code to find the closest office.  With 10,000 locations, chances are there's one within 10 miles of where your live.\n\nAs for WHY your would want to this, contrary to the last answerer'a assertion that brokers don't find bonds sexy and hence don't bother learning about them, throughout their 135-year history, Edward Jones made their business on selling quality bonds to individual investors.  I've found some of the most knowledgable people I know regarding bonds to work for Edward Jones.  In addition, they do so much bond business that they get optimal pricing and that is in turn passed on to you.  When calling around for price quotes, at the very make sure you include them, you won't be sorry.\n\nI should point out that unless you need the money, now is probably not a good time to be selling your bond.  Although long-term interest rates (i.e., that of most bonds, which are driven by economic factors) have little to do with short-term rates (which are directly driven by the Fed), we are nevertheless in a rising interest rate environment and your bond undoubetdly is worth less than it wa a year ago.  Of course, you could be banking on that and need a tax loss for some reason, but barring that, if you're getting good interest, hold onto it until rates go down again to get a more advantageous price.\n\nOf course, when buying bonds specifaclly for the interest income, you should learn not to even care what the price is.  It's hard psychologically, and it takes some getting used to, but it's worth it.  After all, if you're buying a cow for the milk, then what the hell do you care about the price of beef?\n\nHope this help!\n--J.
