(duh)... but it shows that yes, you can have high return funds with the less risk..

But there is more then just looking at the hard numbers. Are you also comfortable with the funds assets? Length of time the manager has been in charge? The fund company it's affiliated with? And others like this. But you are looking at the right kinds of information to screen your list of options down. Mark
