If You Must Own Stock and Bonds This Mutual Fund's For You!

Expert Author Jim L Hudson

If you must own stocks and bonds this mutual fund is for you!

A majority of American investors have placed their trust and savings with stocks and bonds. They continue even as the drumbeats get louder with the message that America's financial future is not a joyful one. Nobody heard the drums in 2007 either. Smoke signals were also sent, but until the cymbals' clash of a falling stock market few people evaluated investment options available in a diminishing economic climate. The majority of investment advisers perform above average in either a bull market or a bear market. Those with the ability to execute better-than-average returns in either market are almost extinct.

The last stock bear market was extinguished in 1982. Managers of investments who were successful then aren't around to give real-life advice to modern day financial administrators. Look at the chairman of the Federal Reserve; he is stuck in the 1930s. And since 2007 the overall performance of stock and bond mutual funds hasn't been anything to crow about. Their administrators continue to adjust the controls as they journey to a potential financial iceberg.

One place in mutual fund world that might have potential for an above average performance is astutely named the Congressional Effect fund. The manager is an out-of-the-box thinker who has come up with a simple solution for stock and bond investing. When the federal government's legislative body is in session he places the fund's assets into bonds or cash. Upon any recess or vacation he moves into stock. He has studied the history of this method and found it outperforms the market. News stories illuminating the idea are featured as a curiosity rather than a serious piece. If everyone in the markets used his method two things would occur. The first would be market chaos as investment bankers liquidated their stock holdings before joining the Senate and House of Representatives on vacation. The second item would be one of the unintended consequences. The market's turmoil would be a knock on the head hard enough to get our attention and hire a new group of leaders for the federal government. Neither of these will occur.

If you are motivated to protect your stock and bond investments a visit to the Congressional Effect's website might be in order. In a bear market the blue ribbon goes to those investments whose value diminishes the least. At least with this mutual fund you will know where your money is as the financial clock ticks down... to midnight.
