I have blown off brokers for mutual fund investments.  I have found
that I can do better with the assistance of a newsletter I subscribe to.
The newsletter subscription costs about the same as the brokers commissions
I would pay and return has been much higher that any mutual fund recommended
to me by my former broker.  Right now, I am in Fidelity Magellan.  It is 
a growth oriented fund with a 3% load.  If anyone wants more info on
the newsletter or the mutual fund, mail me a note.  If there is enough
response, I'll post the details to the net.
