Some brokerage firms have recently gotten into trouble for failing to provide these bulk discounts, so your broker should be well aware of the issue and able to tell you whether you qualify. Also be sure to ask whether your total investment with a given fund family qualifies you for a discounted sales charge. These breakpoints often kick in when your total investment across the fund family reaches $25,000 or more, and they can save you substantial amounts of money.

While not every stock will produce 20%, selecting strong companies will limit your risk for large losses. This led to the feeding-frenzy stock purchasing that we all witnessed.
