You can use your held funds to play poker.

With a buy and strategy, your broker doesn't need to know how to manage money or guard your portfolio. All he has to do is sell you more products and collect his commission, or more recently, a hefty percentage of your portfolio as a "management fee."

Diversification . A larger pool of funds allows the fund manager managing the unit trust to purchase a wider range of investments.

Funds Ohio Unclaimed At best, buy and hold investors have been treading water for the last six years, and by treading water, they've actually been going backwards since the Consumer Price Index has been going up an average of 2.5% per year.

Aim Funds They were the people who watched their nest eggs implode by as much as 80% between 2000 and 2002 while their brokers and mutual fund managers did nothing to save them.
