It explains how every fund company can claim to have top performing funds without lying. Just merge the non-performing ones, and "poof", now every fund is great. Just one more confirmation if you're not investing in a deferred tax account, as long as you do a little due dilligence, and not try to get greedy, you're better off fending for yourself. It also explains how the little DRIPs I do own have performed much better than my 401(k)s. Its a shame these deferred accounts don't allow you to buy and sell individual stocks. (I'm talking about going through an employer, not an IRA) Excellent article. It explains how every fund company can claim to have top performing funds without lying.
