Current Commentary
January 1, 2015
Dear friends, Welcome to the New Year! And to an odd question: why is it a New Year? That is, why January 1?

What does it mean to be in the storied tradition of FundAlarm? It means Mutual Fund Observer:
- is a free, independent, non-commercial site.
- is financially supported by folks who value its services.
- will treat every reader with goodwill and respect, you’ve got a brain and our mission is to help you make good decisions – not to try to make them for you.
- hosts a discussion board open to folks regardless of their experience.
- expects every visitor to extend respect and support to the other members of the community.
- hosts my monthly Commentary column, which is updated on the first of each month.
- has recommendations from readers for investing and personal finance books you really should read (and can buy through Amazon!).
- offers free, in-depth profiles of two to four funds each month. One fund will be an interesting fund with a short track record, the other will be a distinguished older fund that has received little attention and has under $100 million in assets (a “star in the shadows”).
- offers a snapshot of upcoming no-load funds in registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission but not yet available for purchase.
- provide a monthly list of equity and balanced fund manager changes.
- hosts the FundAlarm archive of Commentaries and fund profiles.
If you would like us to notify you of major site developments and our monthly updates, feel free to sign-up here for our mailing list. We will not use that list for any other purpose.
