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: You wouldn't know it by looking at this year's returns, but the performances of the average emerging-market and foreign-stock mutual funds have run well ahead of the S&P 500's in the past 15 years. Regards, Ted http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTg2ODA5MTY=
