THE BIG SECRET THE MUTUAL FUNDS DON?T WANT YOU TO KNOW?INDEXING!
Non-indexed mutual funds try to keep it secret that actively managed mutual very funds rarely do better stock market indexes. The higher fees of the managed funds really make it hard for these funds to out compete indexed funds. Smart financial journalists occasionally rat out fund managers for not educating the public in this regard. When this happens the mutual fund managers make a feeble attempt at self defense by pointing to something called the 5% rule. This rule says that for a fund to market itself as diversified it cannot have more than 5% of 75% of the funds total assets in a single stock.
In other words, a fund can have 25% of its holdings in a single stock, but the remaining 75% must follow the 5% rule. The 5% rule was created by the Investment Company Act Requirement. Fund managers claim that this hampers their performance instead of admitting that they are in the business just to clip you for high fees while the mutual fund under-performs the general market. The truth...

The Exchange Traded Fund Alternative
(ContentDesk) October 13, 2005 -- The earth under the investing landscape is shifting quickly. Buy and holding stocks and investments in traditional mutual funds are no longer providing the investment returns they once did. Many investors do not have the time or knowledge to be constantly buying and selling stocks on a short term basis. Exchange Traded funds provide a major alternative to mutual funds and index funds. Exchange Traded Funds provide major advantages over Mutual Funds.
Rather then being priced at the end of the day, their price is updated during the day like stocks. They can be bought and sold like stocks. Unlike Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds can also be shorted like stocks.Their expense ratios are much lower then mutual funds, thus saving investors money. The numbers and types of exchange traded funds are constantly growing. You can invest in indexes, Gold and Silver, Energy, specific countries such as Mexico and Brazil, Bonds, and exchange traded funds made...

Hedge Fund Advertising
HEDGE FUND ADVERTISING Have you seen all those big full page adsfor hedge funds in the Wall Street Journal, theFinancial Times, Investors Business Daily? Youhaven't. Maybe they are being drowned out by theregular mutual funds who continually tell youhow great they are. Shucks! I forgot. Hedge funds are not allowed to advertise. I wonder why.
Maybe they thinkthat their potential customers are too dumb toknow that hedge funds are a poor investment. Could be. The Securities and Exchange Commissionis trying to protect investors ? I think? To be able to buy into a hedge fund thesmallest investor must have a net worth of$1,000,000 and an income of more than $200,000per year. Maybe the SEC doesn't think thesefolks are bright enough to know a good thingwhen they see it. There are other groups that are major investors with the hedge funds.
Literally billionsof dollars are invested by university endowments,charitable trusts, state and corporate pensionplans. Could it be that they...

Energy is a Risky Business
(ContentDesk) August 15, 2005 -- Energy trading is not for amateurs who think that they just bring over forex traders for a swing at the fences and get those great returns. Well, get real folks, some experienced but lesser talented hedge fund managers have blown up. Some big losses at investment banks in oil trading recently are also showing that energy risk is real, deep, complex and getting substantially more risky.The often quoted remark that "traditional market theory would say that greater liquidity and thus less volatility" is just not true. I have had a continuing debate on 3 continents with economists who look for mean reversion and less volatility due to greater liquidity arguments.
Let me say it straight one more time.
It is different this time. When heating oil spreads go over gasoline this summer, it is different. When natural gas volatility goes down to 20% this spring, it is different. The old models and templates of energy trading are wrong. This is truly...
