“I feel the technology boom is a tremendous bubble. ... Tech funds currently are at the top of their cycle, although it’s hard to see this when you’re inside the bubble, but it has to burst eventually—maybe in the next six to 12 months—and a tremendous number of people will be injured.  This isn’t a game.  It will be devastating to people’s lives.”

“Think of yourself as a consumer first and investor second.  Think about what is the cost to me. ... ”Ultimately, expenses and sales charges can have a significant impact on a fund’s return, and it’s one area that investors have control over”

“... So what do we have?  Bulls, Bears, a lot of confusion? But one issue is clear: those who try to “time” the market, meaning, to try and guess the market highs or lows, are putting forth an exercise in futility. ... with this approach I hope you can go forward and build a sound strategy for your financial goals.  Whether we are in the throws of a full market recovery, or possibly just in the calm of the eye of the storm, we know we can be well prepared for any storm.”
