I was curious as to so many mentions of Fidelity funds in the article. Here is a "bio" check for the author.....link and the editor of Fidelity Investor Newsletter.
Edit: 9 a.m. : I am not noting that what he writes in this article is improper or wrong for investors, but as JohnChisum indicates; a disclaimer might be appropriate. Also, from the Forbes Magazine bio about the author: "Lowell was formerly employed by Fidelity, where he was the senior financial reporter for Investment Vision and the formative stages of Worth magazine." I am sure he is a fine and trustworthy individual who writes more about a financial vendor with whom he feels comfortable and/or more familiar.
Reply to @catch22: No disclaimer either. MW has a bunch of so called writers who push their own products. Michael Gayed is another one. Conflict of interest is not known over there.
PS. Notice there is no discussion on this article. Wonder why?
