- Portfolio Turnover: Should You Care?
By: Bill Byrnes | - One of the mantras of mutual fund investing is to look at a fund's turnover before you buy it. The implication is that a high turnover is bad.

- Earnings Matter: S&p And Stock Market Investing
By: Bill Byrnes | - The S&P 500 is up about 7.5% thus far this year. That's a good return for just over six months. Will it keep going up? Consider this.

That means if the market was fairly valued at the beginning of 2007 and there were no big changes as to how investors think about the market, the S&P should only go up by 5% in 2007. Hence, game over. Come back next year.
