Mutual Fund - What Happens If They Fall dramatically? Alternatives To Consider
 

Of course they can’t – Well, the economic reality says this could happen. Why?

Well, how about inflation on the rise, interest rates in an upward curve making money more expensive, a real estate market turning down, global economic growth waning, oil prices at near record highs, no end in sight to problems in Iraq and confrontation with Iran looming and a few more!

Maybe, mutual funds and stocks wont fall by 20% but the fact is the future does not look rosy and the chances of good gains on mutual funds in the next few years don’t look good .
