There is a handbook about No-Loads (subsequently NLs) which is put
out by 
		The No-Load Fund Investor
		Post Office Box 283
		Hastings-on-Hudson, NY 10706

I purchased the 1982 edition (which has the 1981 results) sometime
last year (price $24 I think).  I don't know when the 1983 edition
will be published, but the handbook contained a lot of information,
some of which I already knew.  However, for someone just starting out
I would certainly recommend it.

Also, the June 1982 issue of Money magazine was devoted to stock market
timing strategies.  Since it is possible to switch around within a family
of funds, one must consider whether the market is going to go down
long term and perhaps switch into a constant value asset (money market
fund).  These switches are sales for tax purposes (not a problem
for IRAs) and you may have to decide whether to wait for capital gains
and risk a decline versus switching now.

I just started reading this net recently and it took me a while to
decide if I was qualified to respond, but after reading net.suicide
I realized only a certain minimum typing ability was required.
