Anyone have any personal experience with any aggressive growth funds?
Any favorites worth mentioning?
Also, if you start a portfolio with an online service, are they limited as to which types of funds you want to put on your account or is it carte blanche? |

| Most of the major online brokerages offer most of the available mutual funds. Be careful though, many of the no load mutual funds now charge a back end fee if you withdraw your funds within 6 months or so. |

| Keep in mind the word 'aggressive'. You are exposed to more investment risk then in other more conservative funds. My experiance with these funds is that if you are a buy and hold type of investor make sure you are invested in a basket of different less risky mutul funds. These funds can and have lost big in the past. Also, many of these funds have a dismal track record. You might want to consider the issue of Load vs. a No-load fund. With aggressive front-end load funds you are starting out of the gate in negative territory unlike a no-load where all your money is working immediately. Do check out each funds annual expense ratio, some are horrendously high. A better approach may not be to invest in mutual funds, but to consider ETF"s (exchange traded funds). They are becoming more popular and are available in diffent risk catagories that fit many investment strategies. |

| That strategy is like margin buying, and is highly risky because if stocks go down you'll essentially have lost the money you owe. Because of the potential for short term fluctuations, I can't understand why anyone would invest this way. |

| Canada fund is good I think it had 28 percent return last year. Also all the international funds are hot for the past couple years. Fidelity latin america fund is through the roof 68 percent for the past year and 48 for the year before. If youve got that in a Roth Ira hello retirement!! |

| Take a look at "T. ROWE PRICE PERSONAL STRATEGY GROWTH FUND ( TRSGX - NASDAQ ) ". This fund is classified as an agressive hybrid fund and it's performance has been pretty good. It appears to be well diversified too. |
