The Dow Jones-irwin Guide To Mutual Funds, By Donald D. Rugg And Norman B. Hale. Dow Jones-irwin, 1818 Ridge Rd., Homewood, Il 60430; 213 Pp., $17.50.

 

The revised edition of this 1976 work discusses no-loads in light of new developments -- money market funds, IRA planning, and, to some degree, performance. Disappointingly, discussions center mostly on concept, with little regard for the immense diversity that has become the hallmark of the industry in the interim.
