How do I calculate my rate of return on my fund?We Answered:
If you invested 150 and earned 15, 15/150 = 10. 10% is your return. To make this number annualized divide by the years you have been in the fund ie been in it 2 years, 10/2 = 5% annual return {ignoring compounding here}Randy Said:

Does anyone have an opinion as to which Mutual Funds have the best rate of return?We Answered:
You can get this information from fund rating websites such as morningstar, lipper or standard and poor.Note that just choosing the funds with the best rate of return may not be the best strategy. The highest return funds will, all things equal, be the riskiest funds (i.e. the more risk, the more reward -- very true in investing). It is better to decide what objective you have in mind and look at your overall portfolio. The find the funds that fit your needs.

what is the average rate of return on mutual funds for 10-20 years?We Answered:
Which 20 years? If you had put a dollar into the stock market in 1964, and taken it out in 1982, you would have, after inflation, 42 cents!If you had put the dollar in around 1985 and bailed out in 1999, I don't have the figure, but you would have been a handsome gainer.
Don't be fooled by this so-called "average return" of something like 10%. If you are investing in the wrong 20 year era, you can take a very cold bath indeed!
If your feet are in the freezer and you head is in the oven, on average your temperature is about right. When GW suggested that social security should include a stock market component, all it showed to me is that GW is a naivete when it comes to the market.
Buy and hold? Sure, lose 60% of your money over the 1964-82 period. Buy and hold from 1983 to 1999? Great! Buy and hold now and you are toast. Listen to Cramer, who is not stupid! Buy and hold in this environment is a killer. Buy and sell can make you something, but staying out could be the best decision of all.

What is a conservative rate of return (in percent) for Mutual Funds?We Answered:
That's going to depend on the mutual fund. A bond fund will have a very different average return than a large cap stock fund, and that will differ from a small cap fund. And a sector-specific fund or an international fund will also have different returns.In general, I would say start with 8% for a diversified large cap fund and then add a little bit for riskier investments, or deduct a little bit for less risky investments.

what are the best places to "put" your IRA money? Which funds give the best rate of return?We Answered:
That can change quickly in some funds...or you can get a long-time slow gainig fund. A good place to look for info is Investor's Business Daily... they list best performing funds of different types a couple of times a week.Right now you can look at international funds for gains...or "sector funds" in energy, or materials, or agricultural chemicals...or you can take the long road with the likes of FAIRX ( heavy into Warren Buffet)...or CGMFX ( very astute and active manager)
