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: Karen Firestone was a mutual fund manager at Fidelity Investments for 22 years, and one of the early women overseeing funds at the Boston-based financial giant. In 2005, she cofounded her own firm, Aureus Asset Management, which manages $1.4 billion for wealthy families. Firestone recently published a book on risk-taking, called “Even the Odds.” Regards, Ted https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/05/22/fivethingsfirestone/RM55DMvEY5Vsmm5P01nFtO/story.html
