its history, the advice for long-term investors should be is not too concerned
with a variety of reports contained in the mass media. News about mutual funds
or withdrawal should not things that can affect investors. Economic news thus

strategy of the investor at the end of the year is a withdrawal of 10% of
deposits and reinvested in the stock investment amount will be re-balanced so
it is 80:20. If investors use investment returns impartial in general will
likely be greater.
