This week we being our coverage of mutual funds, investments for the masses. These vehicles have become so important recently because of the explosion of employer-sponsored retirement plans such as 401(k)'s and 403(b)'s. Next week we have our first exam on chapter 1 (Introduction to Investments, Risk versus Return, Short-term Investments) and chapter 4 (Mutual Funds). Study hard and bring honor and glory to Southwestern College. Don't Give Up! Never Give Up!
