Everything Money - Are ‘Fool Proof’ Investments Too Good To Be True?

Tip of the Day:
Keep your expenses low when investing. Stock and bond returns are largely unpredictable, but the one factor that is predictable is the expense rate. A recent Hewitt analysis found that cutting investment fees by 25 basis points—or $25 per $10,000 investment—could have the same effect as receiving an extra half-percentage-point match from your employer over your career.
