Obtain information about the Fidelity Select Gold fund and one other Fidelity fund at the library or via the Internet.

How would you describe the fund’s financial performance over the past 12 months? Past five years? Past ten years? e. How would you rate the risk associated with each fund? f. Would you invest your money in either of these funds? Justify your answer.
