Conversations, the media, and popular literature contain significant unverified, biased, false, and sometimes simply ridiculous investment information.

The Skilled Investor dubs such supposed investment information as “rubbish.” infor626 Wed, 07 May 2008 18:53:52 GMT http://www.bestnoloadmutualfund.com/best-no-load-mutual-funds-have-low-management-expenses-7.htm mutual fund management expense ratio, fund management expense ratio, high mutual fund expense ratio, actively managed mutual fund manager, professional investment fund managers, investment fund managers, efficient market competition, mutual fund investment return, ETF investment return, individual investor, passive mutual funds, passive exchange-traded funds infor626 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:31:55 GMT http://www.theskilledinvestor.com/ss.item.31/investment-securities-markets-do-not-pay-you-for-the-risks-of-holding-individual-common-stocks-and-bonds.html Investment securities markets do not pay you for the risks of holding individual common stocks and bonds - Personal Investment Management > Investment Asset Diversification Articles -- Reducing Your Portfolio Risk - Financial Articles, On average, the securities markets will not pay you for the undiversified risks of holding individual common stocks and fixed income securities.

Instead of investing in broadly diversified index funds or across a large number of individual securities, many individual investors concentrate investments in a very small number of equities. This lack of diversification causes most individual investors to underperform a passive market return, while they suffer greater price volatility. infor626 Wed, 07 May 2008 18:53:52 GMT http://www.theskilledinvestor.com/ss.item.89/many-individual-investors-are-not-fooled-by-an-ethically-challenged-securities-industry.html Many individual investors are not fooled by an ethically challenged securities industry - Financial Advisors, Investment Counselors, and the Financial Industry > Are Your Best Interests the Same as the Financial Services Industry? - Financial Articles, Securities industry customers have very widespread concerns about being taken advantage of and being cheated.
