<description><![CDATA[Big time. I'm getting out of this piece of crap next time the market spikes up. I bought it when I was just getting into investing on Morningstar's advice. They argue that it has great downside protection.   Maybe that assessment will prove correct in the long term, despite recent performance... but I'm not waiting around to find out.   I think   I'd just like to manage my own money, really.

I say buy index funds and venture into individual stocks when compelling opportunities arise. That strategy'll beat the crap out of 99.9% percent of mutual funds in the long term.]]></description>
