Thank you, I try.
I never said I only look the a few numbers. I use the performance numbers to sort the funds, and then pick through the ones that have done well to start shopping.
I don't want to spend the time required to meticulously go through all of the thousands of funds out there and carefully compare them all. I want to spend a day or two after the year end, and then spend about ten minutes a week after that until next year.
I would not consider looking at the bottom-line high level.
I look at what I buy pretty carefully. I just try to minimize the number I actually have to look at, and using the historic performance sort function helps me do that.
How many of the facilities have you walked though?
The difference with us is that you seem to think I'm some kind of moron, and I think you're probably at least reasonably bright.
I said "I'm a graphs guy" in the context of a thing on TV I thought was funny. I like graphs because I understand them, I think I pretty good with them, I used them a lot at work, and think they helped me a bit to advance through my manufacturing career. I still like them, but I generally do not use them much to make investment choices.
Now, you go on and have a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!
