What about individual blue chip stocks? My main gripe with mutual funds is the capital gains you pay each year. If you own individual stocks, you only pay capital gains when you sell.
on-ramp, your guess is as good as mine on picking mutual funds. I started with Janus in the late 80s. They did well until the past few years, and boy they have sucked really bad. T.Rowe Price International Stock seems to do decent (probably a conservative fund).
What are you trying to accomplish, besides make a ton of money? Mutual fund families will generally have a groups of funds tailored to different goals. You can go from ultra-aggressive to ultra-conservative.
