Prior to Fooldom I was your typical Money reader who had mutual funds. It made so much sense it felt too good to be true. There is so much opportunity, and yet most folks don't ever think about spending 20 minutes a month to learn a few new ideas that could impact their future. I always try and preach some Foolish wisdom and sometimes it works. I could write a novel on what a wonderful impact the Fool has had on my life.
Money magazine gives the term 'rag' a bad name.
Since I discovered Fooldom, I refuse to read it and others of its ilk. One has to wonder why they continue to emphasize how great mutual funds are, given their abysmal track record, and don't talk about how any small Fool can do better by employing a modicum of research and a consistent strategy. They'll be having snowball fights in Hell before I ever again take anything I read in Money seriously. One of the greatest things about being a Fool is being able to laugh at the Wise. Because it works, you idiot, and it's not data mining.
