I've got some money sitting in my Roth IRA that I'd like to put into some no-load funds. Anyone have any recommendations?

 

What are you in now? It's good to know this so you can get properly diversified.

 

right now ive got a little bit in one stock, but i am looking to diversify into funds

 

T. Rowe Price and Janus both have top notch funds but there are many others out there. Look at one of the major fund families for their no-load growth offerings.

 

Maires and Power growth fund - awesome
Fidelity low priced stock fund - may be closed to new investors tho
Dodge and Cox always a popular one - expensive to get in
Vanguard Primecap - been good too

there are soooo many to choose from - go to MotleyFool .com or Fidelity, Vanguard sites and browse the funds - they offer their own funds and others as well.

 

If you really want to diversify put half into Vanguard Star Growth and half into Vanguard Star Income. These are "no brainer" fund of funds that use the whole spectrum of funds offered by Vanguard. TR Price offers the same with their Spectrum funds. These are both great investment companies.

You couldn't go too far wrong with Tweedy-Browne funds, Dodge and Cox, or American Century either.
