I will give that a try, but will I know what I am reading, hell I don't understand the entire statement I get. Need a investment fund class I guess, statment said I was -0.25 for the first 1/2 of the year. I have 100%invested in the first one listed, someone told me to try that one a few years ago, but might be time for a change, or spread it across a few. I am thinking international should be one of them.

I saw in another thread that ArkRescue lost 3 grand in 6 months, wtf. She needs to change investments I think or it is what it is with the economy today. If I ever hit the lotto I am going to share, look at all the friends responding now but for real though I would help a lot of people, wishfull thinking.
