Skeptics see wobbly foundation

NEW YORK -- As technology stocks soar higher and higher,
concern is growing among market observers that mutual fund
investing has become little more than a self-fulfilling prophecy built
on a shaky house of cards. As investors pile money into the
technology sector, momentum investing, investing a stock or a
sector simply because it's going up, takes hold. The momentum
feeds on itself through word of mouth and the ubiquitous financial
media. Consequently, more and more money is targeted for that
select group of stocks, pushing them yet higher. Finally, professional
fund managers -- who are trained to know better -- are forced to fall
in line because their clients will undoubtedly question why the
manager has ignored a sector that is outperforming by far all other
areas of the market.
