bought FLATX 12/06/2005 at $32, it's $44 now YTD return is 39%

Also bought PRLAX 11/29/2004 at $14, it's $37 now YTD return is 160%

I have TDAmeritrade so I do have to pay transaction fee of $50 for buying & selling but for the returns, it's well worth it!

Just open a Bank of America account which offers free trading.

Most have no fee to open the account.

But they may charge a fee if the value of the account is below certain amount, for example, to charge a 10$ fee per year if the fund is less than 10K, or to charge a maintainess fee 30$ per year, etc.

So my idea is: if you really need it, go ahead and open a account, but donot open it if you do not need it.

You are pretty right. Longer time can reduce risk as well. If I had them for long time, I would not worry that much. hoho.

So actually there is a saying goes like: the newer players usually will have higher risk, since they do not have any accumulated benefits to "burn" yet (plus the lack experience as well).

Anyway, hope the market is good and we can pick the right ones though learn and trial.
