The fortune article was interesting but only served to reinforce my view that the individual investor who takes the time to pick his or her own stocks and adheres to a buy and hold strategy (at least for a portion if not a major portion of their portfolio) can expect to do quite well over the long term.

I think many are misserved by the mutual fund industry for the points brought out so well in the following paragraph of the article:

"There is a huge disconnect," summarizes Morningstar's Don Phillips, "between what the fund industry does and what it tells investors to do." So in the wake of the recent market break--and the ensuing incessant jabber about the importance of investors' taking the long-term view--it seems a good time to ask the question: Why doesn't the fund industry practice what it preaches?

Regards,
Brian
