5 Mutual Fund Picks for the Next 15 Years
These diversified funds have provided superior returns historically and are relatively conservative in their stock-picking and philosophy. Unlike with the specialty funds, you don't necessarily need to be a contrarian buying these. Following are some of those that made the list Morningstar recommends.

Need Mortgage Help? Don't Hold Your Breath
Homeowners trying to avoid foreclosure should brace for lengthy delays, busy signals and copious paperwork.


10 Cities With the Worst Pain at the Pump
These places your daily gas cost are worst. Riverside/San Bernandino, CA residents average $7.61 per commuter per day, Atlanta residents $6.62/day, Washington D.C., $6.32/day and Chicago $6.23/day.

Coffee Confections
Think "coffee" means no calories? Not if it comes bottled or canned in a sweet drink. The four chilled frappu-cappu-spresso products that Consumer Reports tested have 100 to 180 calories per serving and 17 to 31 grams of sugars. When it comes to taste, Starbucks Doubleshot leads the pack. Of the other very good options, Caribou has the fewest calories and lowest fat per serving; Bolthouse Farms has the least caffeine.
