Forbes: Ratings For 1,471 Mutual Funds I am surprised that anyone follows these anymore. With all the information that is available online, and the fact that Forbes readership, like all print media, is shrinking, this ends up being just another of hundreds of MF lists. 25-30 years ago, before online data was available, these had some value. Sort of like the lists in Kiplinger and Money magazines, this is just not worth the time. Like other lists, the rankings, grades, stars have different calculations from each other. I question a lot of the list that I quickly scanned, just like I disagree with most of what the other publications tour as "The Best", and "What to Buy NOW."
