Secular Bear Markets and
the Volatility of Inflation
Increasing economic volatility is what helps chaperone multiples from overvalued territory to deeply undervalued territory. It's the uncertainty of the stability in the growth rate of the economy and the uncertainty of the price trend that discourages investors.

Mutual Fund Brokerage Fees and Trading Costs
How much do mutual funds pay in commissions and trading costs? This is a question that the mutual fund industry seems reluctant to answer. In an industry already complicated by fees - sales loads, soft dollars, trailing fees, 12b-1 marketing fees - asking mutual funds to prominently disclose trading costs is unpopular among fund companies. We've decided to take the lead anyway. It's the right thing to do.
