Personal statement from the Editor:
Having devoted my entire life to doing research, writing,
teaching, and helping others achieve their objectives, I feel
strongly that I can make a further contribution by using my skills
and knowledge to research, write, and publish a unique kind of
mutual funds newsletter. I sincerely hope and believe that these
newsletters can be of important value to anyone who does not have
the time or perhaps sufficient background to investigate the topics
I cover. These include difficult to uncover psychological aspects of
mutual fund investing, as well as important trends and data,
knowledge of which can lead to better investment results.
I am also interested in hearing about any other opportunities
that will make use of my knowledge of mutual fund investing,
especially those that involve writing and/or research.
