The reason is stock market fluctuation - even the best funds lose value in a down market, and nobody knows what the market will do in the coming 12 months. Over the LONG-term (5+ years), mutual funds are good investments because the stock market has historically gone up about 2 out of every three years, on average. The average return for stocks (and funds that invest in them) is about 9-10% over the last 100 years, but again - down markets are not uncommon in the short term. In your case, any mutual fund is a gamble. If you are willing to face the prospect of losing money over the next 12 months, then go for it. If you'll be needing the money in a year, I would recommend a CD. Unfortunately, this will only pay you around 2% (about $ 400), but the good news is that you are guaranteed not to lose any of your $ 20K. I hope that helps. Good luck!

I am all for separating congress from those funds - but the Republicans aren't trying to give power to the citizens. They are trying to pass management of the fund over to their cronies in the private sector. What they call "privatizing social security" I call another corporate handout.

Look, like most other government programs, it's just become a cash cow to fund other wasteful government exploits.. You can only do that for so long before it catches up to ya.

They might add a needs test to keep millionaires from getting it or might raise the retirement age, but can never get away with more change than that.

The borrowing of SS trust fund money is no different that Emron, or the Fanny/Freddie confidence games. For any plan to work though congress would have to pay back ALL of the money that the stole excuse me borrowed from SS.

Then they could have packaged these mortgages into bonds, had them rated AAA and sold them off to pension funds. Then they could have bought Credit Default Swaps against the bonds they sold us and made a mint when they defaulted. No thanks.
