ive done the fund thing , was in an irish life fund from 2007 - 2010 , never made a schilling despite the fact that none of it was in property , i had most of it in commodities and india - china , even during the 1st big soft commodities boom a few years ago , it never rose a cent , ditto with the consisten india - china boom , was a dog , then again i recently read that four out of five funds never make any money , thier all swallowed up with managment fees
 
Here are some tips:

buy low sell high, switch to a safety razor for thebestshaving.com

Also when you adjust returns for risk against an appropriate benchmark then most of the outperformance evaporates.
