Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: When it comes to long-term performance, small-cap mutual funds are the big man on campus, and large-cap funds are the weaklings.
A $10,000 investment in the average small-cap fund on Sept. 30, 1999, would have grown to $38,010 by Oct. 10 this year. The same investment in large-cap funds would have grown to just $17,793, according to Morningstar Inc. data. Regards, Ted http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTg1NTc0NjQ=
