Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Stock mutual funds that focus on investing in Europe are struggling but have kept a performance edge over the S&P 500 and the MSCI EAFE index for the past 15 years. A $10,000 investment in the average Europe fund tracked by Morningstar on Sept. 30, 1999, would have grown to $19,971 by Oct. 17 this year. The same amount would have run up to $19,547 if plunked down on the S&P 500, a proxy for the broad U.S. stock market Regards, Ted http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTg1Nzk0MjM=
