Here's a mutual fund that I'm invested in and with great results. It's received a 4-5-star rating from Morningstar for a while now. It's a small-mid cap fund that invests big chunks of its money in energy, health care, and idustrial materials, etc. You can check it out at the link below.

It's called Neuberger Berman Genesis Trust & ticker symbol is NBGEX

You can see from the graph how well you would have done if you had put $10,000 in the fund in 2002. I got in towards the end of 2003.

No matter how good a stock or mutual fund is, always DIVERSITY YOUR MONEY.Don't let anyone persuade you to put it all in one place!!!

OOPS, excuse the typo. I meant "DIVERSIFY" above.

Just saw that the above fund is closed to new investors. Here are two Morningstar rated 4 &5-star funds that have been good to me over the past 3 years, and you can still get into them.
