I have also invested a largish sum of money (for me anyway) in various stocks and mutual funds over the years. At some point I decided I couldn't reasonably pay attention to the US economy while abroad so I dumped what I had into a mutual fund. The dividends had been nice, but the principle has lost so much value this year that it has essentially erased gains granted by the dividends. I haven't invested other than to play -- the source money is inheritance I feel doesn't really belong to me -- so I am going to stick with the mutual funds and hope that the bond market stabilizes soon...

I do this via e-trade, and since I am not anywhere close to a day-trader, i have not seen any fees for trades...
