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: Surprises are reminders of the fallibility of market timers and financial media pundits who like to make short-term market and economic predictions. Highlighting the events we didn’t expect can make us better investors by dissolving the illusion of control with a healthy dose of humility.
