Canadian Capitalist blog has a great news round-up post which pointed out some really interesting articles about personal investing and what not to do.

The first is a brief interview with neurologist/financial advisor William Bernstein reminding us why chasing hot companies is consistently a losing proposition. Second is a summary of a recent report which concluded that “Because of market-timing, investors in load funds underperformed their own funds’ reported returns by three times as much as no-load fund investors”. Last is an article about a former high-flying mutual fund company out of Toronto that is now in the gutter.
