Best Buys

 

Fund performance comes and goes. Costs, though, are everlasting.

All Best Buys have low expenses. But note their letter grades here and in the main fund tables (see p. 184): Some Best Buys get a D or even an F, usually in an up market. Still, they didn't necessarily lose money; maybe they made 7% in rocking 1999 while an A stock had a 96% gain. And almost all funds with D's or F's in one kind of market had an offsetting good grade in the opposite kind.
