The Low-Cost Fund Arms Race / & John Bogle article
Don't know if Ted posted it, but he always pushed index funds, which makes MFO superfluous. (I still hope that new small funds can beat their index for a while.) Considering MFS's location on the graph of the first link, they probably want part of their ad budget returned, unless they get their banner posted somewhere else for free.
I do feel nervous putting money into any stock fund currently, although I'm sure some sophisticated readers are into the shorts. I hope I have the conviction to move whole-heartedly into the index funds after the next "correction." Introspectively, it's interesting how difficult I find it to keep cash in my retirement funds, while I put my contribution to my children's Roth IRAs into cash and told them to wait.
