    A mutual fund is a group of investors who give their money to someone else to invest. On average that person who gets the money is an under-performer and under-achiever. Yet, he/she is paid a significant portion (1+% annually) to mismanage the investment dollars.

    The following well-known phrases apply:

    A fool and his money are soon parted

    Laughing all the way to the bank (the manager, not the investor)

    Where are the customers yachts?
