Tips on a couple mutual funds?

Question

Does anyone have or have looked at

JABAX or SWGBX? If not can you look at them and tell me what you think? Thanks

Answer 1

JABAX Janus Balanced fund is a very good fund for those that like balanced funds.

SWBGX Schwab Market Track Balanced is an ok fund.

My recommendations in this area are:

Leuthold Asset Allocation (LAALX)

GAMCO Westwood Balanced A (WEBCX)

James Balanced: Golden Rainbow (GLRBX)

Answer 2

JABAX looks good for a balanced fund. low costs. Potential earnings typical for a good balanced fund. All balanced funds are down this year so do not expect to make much until the economy starts to turn around, but the upside is that by buying now you would be buying low and that is always a good thing.

Do you mean CWGBX? I don't find a SWGBX.  

If it is CWGBX I generally like most American Funds because they are run well and make excellent returns when there isn't a recession happening.
