Hot Mutual Funds and ETFs - March 2008

Welcome to the March edition of Hot Mutual Funds and ETFs.
The Markets are still very volatile as seen from the YTD returns of Dow Jones -7.70%, Nasdaq -16.27% and S&P -10.56%. From the Category returns its apparent the only areas that are making any returns are Metals and Power, I'm recommending my subscribers to take a more longer term investment view and look at areas that will rebound in the future. But the short term you need to very closely watch your portfolio.

Happy Investing!!
