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: In less than a week, real estate will break away from financials to become the 11th and newest sector under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). The move elevates real estate to a prestigious position within the stock market, though its impact on the way people invest may be limited.
