Scott Burns at MSN Money meets this week's article quota by telling us that when shopping for mutual funds, you're better off going with cheap rather than expensive:
The least expensive one-eighth of large-blend funds had an expense ratio of 0.50% or less and provided an average return of 6.90%. More important, 49 of the 69 funds in the group provided superior returns, so you had a 71% chance of superior performance simply by selecting the least expensive funds."
While this advice might be a bit on the "duh" side for savvy MAXfunds readers, we reckon it never hurts to get a reminder every now and then.
