RE: "Would you as a Putnam investor like to know you have been slammed for a 5.75% sales charge and an annual expense ratio five times the index fund? Sounds like useful information." I can't believe the number of callers who still don't understand the negatives about investing in load funds. Most of the time, they don't understand that the load is just a sales charge, or commission. Also, many don't even know that they paid a load. Pointing out the load charge is definitely very usefull and important information to these people. Experienced investors usually already know this (or am I mistaken?). Thus, Bob is focussing on informing the "average Joe" with these comments. RE: "He has always had the integrity to tell callers the truth about his view. Newsletter subscribers might like to see him lead callers astray about his views, but he has never done this." I agree with the above statement, but in the old days, funds were not specified by name, so Bob's precise recommendation was hidden slightly from the non-subscribers. Best wishes, I2
