Episode Synopsis
Chapter Ten
Seeking Advice to
Select Funds?
-
Look beforeYou Leap.

long term bears all the potential success of looking for
the needle in the haystack; and (2) Selecting winning
funds based on their performance over relatively short-
term periods in the past is all too likely to lead, if not to
disaster, at least to disappointment.
