How to approach major magazines' completely different lists of recommended mutual funds?
In deciding what mutual funds to invest in, I checked out Forbes, Kiplinger's, and Money magazine's lists of recommended funds and was surprised to discover that they had virtually no funds in common. To make matters worse, even when there was overlap there were some distinct differences, e.g. Forbes gives CGM Focus fund a top rating in down markets while Kiplinger describes the fund as highly risky and volatile. why would their recommendations be so different? and perhaps more importantly, whose list do you think is the most reliable (and why)?

It's different because judging investments is like describing the weather. To me, it's partly cloudy. To you, it's mostly sunny. To me, it's cool, you it's mild. Forget what all these magazines say. Through them away. most of what you read there is out of date by the time it hits the news stand. moneycentral.msn.com/investor/hom…
If you go to this page, and on the left you will see a way to check on "funds". go to that page, get the index and find one that is coming up, but near it's 52 low. Make sure the morning star rating is over 3, and go for it. You won't loose money. That's how I do, and I have not lost yet. I don't bother with magazines. I do read about a fund in real time, or articles about a company. (I invested with Ford at $1.86, look where it is now) good luck. But I like my "system"
