    between now and christmas

    Of interest from a CNN money article. "A recent Ned Davis Research study suggests the market could weaken between the elections and the end of the year, if the last 104 years are any guide. That's because 2006 is a mid-term year for a second-term president. In such years, a change in one or...

    L vs do it yourself

    imported post Just from my simple mind looking at the prices of the funds knowing they all started at $10 it seems pretty easy to see which ones have done the best. Now looking at how they want to distribute money in the L funds, why would you put money in the F fund except to buy low and...
