If you are looking to start investing, mutual funds may be your safest and easiest way to begin building wealth and an investment portfolio. But you should be aware of some of the most common mistakes that are made before investing your hard-earned dollars.

In July, investors pulled $23 billion out of stock mutual funds. In August, the sell off continued when mutual funds singapore pulled out an additional $6.5 billion. The mutual fund redemptions undoubtedly just worsened the market's decline.

"Looking good" causes the problem another way. Many fund managers buy what they believe are good companies, but sell them right before the end of the quarter and buy the companies everybody knows are good. That's so you'll look at your quarterly portfolio statement and think they're doing a good job. But little do you know, they sold those well-known companies and rebought the little-known ones.

This is widely attributed to investors following the crowd, getting caught up in the excitement of a bull market well after it started, and feeling depressed by a bear market just before it hits bottom.

You need to create (and live in) your own insulated protective biosphere. That is why most MLP experts are recommending Master Limited Partnerships. Income advisors, who really understand MLPs, recognize that MLPs have historically raised distributions during periods of inflation. They also have paid out tax deferred income. They also have a record of reliability. Tax deferral, tax deferred income, reliability, inflation protection, and a history of performance, make MLPs a great way to build you're your protective biosphere. Even though you may still see the elephant, you won't have to smell him. He is not leaving.
