Tips on Fund Investing in the New Year
By Clint Willis
BOSTON (Reuters) - Did your list of New Year's resolutions include a promise to get your investments on track?
If so, good for you. If not, don't fret: It's never too late to get serious about putting your financial house in order.
With that in mind, here are some tips for mutual-fund investors looking improve their financial health in 2002:
-- Reexamine your investment plan. The New Year is a great time to make sure your current investment plan is still on track to help you reach your long-term financial goals -- and to make the necessary changes if it isn't.
For example, the stock market's miserable performance last year -- and the strong performance of many types of bonds -- may mean that equities now make up a smaller percentage of your portfolio than they did a year ago.
A quick look at your portfolio might reveal that your allocation to stock funds has fallen below your target level. If so, it's time to beef up your exposure to stocks. Likewise, you may have socked away some money into money market funds in the wake of stock market volatility. Now may be the time to put some of that cash back to work again in other investments.
-- Visit a financial planner. Younger investors, many of whom are experiencing their first recession and significant stock-market downturn, might especially benefit from some expert advice these days-and even experienced investors could use some. A financial advisor can review your investment plan and reassure you that you're on track -- or offer guidance if you've made a few wrong moves.
Advice: Choose an advisor that you trust. Ask friends or co-workers who use planners for recommendations. Then meet with a few face-to-face. Most initial visits are free, and the effort you put into find a good financial planner will pay off down the road.
-- Don't forsake savings. It may seem tough these days to put aside money for investing. The recession, rising unemployment and corporate cutbacks have hit many Americans in the pocketbook. But interrupting your savings now could hurt your chances of achieving long-term goals such as paying for college tuition or financing a comfortable retirement.
One way to help build and maintain a steady habit of saving and investing is to sign up for an automatic investment plan (AIP), offered by most mutual-fund companies. Under such a plan, a fixed amount of money-often between $25 and $100 -- is invested directly from your checking account each month.
Even such small monthly investments can make a big difference in the size of your portfolio over time. Consider that a $50 monthly investment will grow to more than $9,167 in 10 years (assuming a modest 8 percent annual return). Best of all, the money is automatically deducted from your checking account -so you probably won't even miss it.
-- Take advantage of the new tax laws. Tax-deferred plans such as 401(k) plans and IRAs have long been a fund investor's strongest allies. Thanks to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, these plans are now even better. For example, the limit on tax-deferred contributions to 401(k) plans rises from $10,500 in 2001 to $11,000 this year (and climbs by $1,000 a year to $15,000 in 2006). Workers aged 50 and older can make additional ``catch-up'' contributions of as much as $1,000 in 2002 (that amount rises by $1,000 each year until it hits $5,000 in 2006).
IRA investors also benefit from the new law. Beginning this year, IRA investors can contribute $3,000 to their account -- a 50 percent increase from last year. That maximum contribution will continue to rise in the coming years.
-- Stick with stocks. For some investors, it's been tempting lately to altogether avoid funds that invest in stocks. After all, the typical domestic stock fund fell 11.4 percent in 2001. But despite their recent slump, stocks still offer the best opportunity to grow your money fast enough to outpace inflation and meet your long-term goals.
What's more, the risk of losing money in stocks declines the longer you hold them. A study by investment management firm L/G Research shows that stocks have never posted a negative return over any 10-year period since 1950.
``A long-term investment portfolio simply must include stocks or stock funds,'' says Michael Chasnoff, a financial planner in Cincinnati. ``Poor performance from stocks over a one- or two-year period doesn't change that.''

Stockscores commentary-
***Commentary
I think that success in the stock market has as much to do with avoiding mistakes as it does with doing the right thing. In fact, I would say that picking good stocks is relatively simple compared to avoiding the emotional traps that cause small losses to turn in to big ones.
Investing in the stock market is a probability game. You can not possibly by right all of the time, and as a result, you have to expect that some stocks that you pick will be losers. The first step to success in the stock market is admitting that you will be wrong some time. Everyone reading this, particularly we men, needs to say this out loud. “I will be wrong some of the time.”
Accepting that the losses will come is important because it is the first step to actually selling and taking a loss when the time is right. By not holding on to a mistake, we can minimize the amount that we lose, and improve overall portfolio performance. The alternative, falling in love, is painful and typically leads to heart ache.
Now, most of you can appreciate the importance of taking small losses when you are wrong, but we all have difficulty admitting that we are wrong until it is too late. My wife would be a good stock trader because she has no problem asking for directions, while I would rather drive around and figure it out. A few days later, I might (emphasis added) admit that I was lost. But by that time, it is too late.
If we have a stock that is not doing well, and has proven us to have made a mistake, we should admit it and move on. However, humans like to avoid pain, and it hurts to take a loss so we try to rationalize why this stock purchase is performing poorly, and why we need to avoid taking the loss and instead hang in there.
“The stock is down because the overall market is down, but it is still a great company.”
“The short sellers have been hitting the stock, but they’ll get squeezed and the stock will shoot back up.”
“I won’t be swayed by short term gyrations of the market; I am a long term investor.”
“It is those damn day traders that cause this volatility; I’ll just ride it out.”
“I hope it turns around soon.”
Hope is what turns savvy traders in to long term investors. There is always a reason why stocks down, and knowing what that reason is does not change the fact that the stock is going down. And the lower it goes, the harder time it will have to go back up because downtrends bring pessimism in to the hearts and minds of investors.
To succeed in the market, accept that you have to lose money to make money. A penny lost at the right time is often worth many more pennies gained.
OK, out of curiosity, I did some looking- first the last public Sig event-

Still holding myself- waiting....
North- My concern on environmental issues is more than the local dump. For instance- What Nebraska does in farming effects all downstream states. Growing concern is safe drinking water. Why is bottled water such a growing industry? Because you can't trust the water that comes from the ground- due to what was put in the local dump. I buy bottled water, because of what I see my neighbors dumping on the ground. FWIW, I live in a rural farming community.
If Alaska had there own way- ANWR would be full of holes, just so they could produce more revenues for the PFD. (Of course, that will probably happen anyway- just later rather than sooer).
We need federal involvement to bring renewable energies to the forefront. I'm talking wind, sun, water. The states don't have the collective ability to put it together, IMO.

Capital losses can help cut your tax bill
By Cynthia E. Brodrick • Bankrate.com
Plummeting stock prices can cast a dark cloud over anyone's finances. At tax time, however, the write-offs for these capital losses can be a ray of sunshine. So if you sold any at a loss this year, you can use them to offset gains from more successful ventures -- or even a portion of your everyday income.
A capital loss is the result of selling an investment at less than the purchase price or adjusted basis. Any expenses from the sale are deducted from the proceeds and added to the loss. The key point is that capital losses are only losses after you sell them. A stock sitting in your portfolio with a deflated price may cause you distress, but it doesn't factor into the tax issue. The sale of personal use property, such as a car, can't be deducted as a capital loss.
You can recoup a percentage of a true loss from the tax man. This is one of the best deductions available to investors. A capital loss directly reduces your taxable income, which means you pay less tax. It makes for a nice consolation prize.
How it works
It's touching that the Internal Revenue Service wants to give you a break when the stock market tanks. However, this doesn't mean the weighing and applying of capital losses is simple.
When filling out Schedule D, you'll discover that losses are categorized as short-term and long-term, just like gains. The value of the deductible loss depends on how the loss is applied. Sadly, the taxpayer doesn't get to choose.
Here's how it works:
Short-term losses counterbalance those expensive short-term gains. What's left at the end of section I of Schedule D is the net short-term capital gain or loss. If there were no gains, then obviously the net would equal the total loss.
Long-term losses are applied to long-term gains. The result at the end of section II of Schedule D is the net long-term capital gain or loss. Again, if you only have a loss, then the net is a negative number.
Next, you combine the short-term and long-term results. At this point, a loss in one section can offset a gain in the other section. For example, if you have a net short-term loss of $1,000 and a net long-term gain of $1,200, then you'll pay tax on only $200.
If the total is a gain, you'll be paying taxes on that.
If there's still a loss, you can deduct up to $3,000 from other income.
If you had a really bad year and ended up with a net loss of more than $3,000, you can carry forward the leftover portion to next year's taxes. The unused loss can be applied to next year's gains as well as up to $3,000 of earned income. A big loss can be used as a deduction indefinitely -- another important reason to keep good records.
Timing is everything
While many factors will affect your choice to sell a security, tax considerations can be a major component of such a decision.
Capital losses are best taken in a year with short-term capital gains or no gains because you will save on your full ordinary income tax rate. The tax consequences of a short-term capital gain can send you looking for a devalued stock to purge from your portfolio. Dump the losers; enjoy the tax break.
Long-term capital gains have an attractive low tax rate (20 percent for most investors), so the benefit of a deductible loss is much less.
Wash away those losers?
But what if the only deflated stocks in your portfolio have a lot of promise to rebound to profitable glory? You might think of selling something off to create a loss, and then repurchasing the stock so you can ride it back up.
Not so fast, bucko. The IRS is a step ahead. The tax folks closed up that loophole with something called the Wash Sale Rule. The catch is you can't claim a loss from the sale of a security and then turn around and buy a substantially identical replacement within 30 days.
For example, if you sell a stock and then pick it up again a week later after it splits, the IRS knows it's still the same stock. So, if you want the tax break, you have to take a risk and wait 31 days to pick up that stock or security again.
For a more subtle way to work within the Wash Sale Rule, you could sell shares of one company's mutual fund and pick up the same type of fund from another company. For example, sell off Vanguard Health Care mutual fund and then buy into Fidelity's Heath Care mutual fund. For bonds, be sure to buy a new one that differs from the old one in one or, even better, two criteria: issuer, credit rating, maturity and yield.
Though capital losses can lessen the pain from a gain, they are not the way to wealth. Your ideal financial scenario would be for every stock to be a long-term winner. But for that you need a crystal ball, not a tax form.

The average increase was 226% in 3.4 months. That would put LCAV at $2.60 by mid-April. A look at the chart shows no resistance until $1.75. Keep in mind that LCAV was $2.00 right before 9/11. Technically this stock is a slam-dunk.
Fundamentally, there is no shartage of Americans with bad eyesight. Laser surgery can correct that. I know; I had it done, and it changed my life. Eventually this surgery will become commonplace, and stocks like LCAV will trade like utilities. But during this early growth phase, there are going to be some huge growth spurts as well as some rough patches, especially during a recession. Profits were crimped by low-balling competition that has now gone belly-up. That's good news for LCAV, which is now in a position to raise its prices, which it has been doing throughout 2001.
LCAV has shown it knows how to keep costs down and conserve capital during tough times. There are only a very few ways investors can play this emerging technology, and LCAV will be a survivor. It's easy to see this stock at $7 to $10 in a couple years.
Considering that LCAV has $0.44 in cash for every share, the stock is trading at $0.45 plus cash on hand. Multiply that times the 46 million shares outstanding, and the company is priced at $20.7M plus cash. If the recession turns into a depression, which is unlikely, LCAV still has a $20M line of credit available. So it's hard to envision a scenario in which it would go out of business, especially given its frugal ways.
I'm an investor, not a gambler. I made 373% on investments last year. But if I was a gambler, I would bet that LCAV will be over $1.00 by mid-January, and over $2.00 by the end of February.
