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: For the second time in 2017, Barbara Novick is publicly defending index funds and ETFs via the Wall Street Journal's opinion page. This time she's tackling a different indexing worry: how indexing affects stock price momentum. Regards, Ted http://www.mfwire.com/common/artprint2007.asp?storyID=57338&wireid=2
