I live in Canada which has an ecomony that's rising faster than the US right now. I have Royal Bank mutual funds that have been earning very well for me. When looking for investments, sometimes it's wise to look around and look to other countries. While, for me it sucks that Canada is doing so well even though I live here because I earn US dollars, it's well worth your while to check out some Canadian mutual funds and even some stocks on the TSX (tsx.com). Looking for rising real estate investments? Look north :) Cheers from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mutual funds have kicked butt for me.

Do they <b>really</b> outperform luminaries like Bill Miller, Dan Fuss, and Bill Gross? My quant-nature likes the efficient market hypothesis. But come on--we're talking about people here. People make all kinds of bad decisions (perhaps <i>especially</i> about investing); shouldn't that be an arbitrage opportunity? I have to admit–I’m still on the fence about index funds.

This takes you to their main web page for individual investors, where you'll find tons of information. Along the top, there are links for opening accounts online, downloading forms that you can fill out and send in, and also for contact information. If you're more comfortable speaking to someone, you might consider calling Vanguard Investor and Client Information at 877-662-7447 (that's 877-662-SHIP if you spell it out). You'll of course need to decide what type of account to open (Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA vs. regular account), what sort of index fund(s) you want given your investment goals and time horizon, etc. But this should get you started.
