Just like any writer, I receive both positive and negative emails and comments from readers. You should see the latest zinger.  I have to admit, I wish the statement would have included some evidence backing up his comments. Rather than deleting what he wrote, I've decided to share it.

A couple of lines from Guest Dan's comments include telling me that I "don't know anything" and that I should let "someone write an article that doesn't like mutual funds." You can read Guest Dan's entire statement (and a few other readers' statements) in "Readers Respond."

While I would like to find Dan and ask him what he means by "tell the truth" and ask him why I would want a biased person to write an article, I think the more productive question would be to ask him to comment on my original question that he didn't answer: "As with any investment structure, mutual funds have their advantages and disadvantages. What do you think are the most disadvantageous features of mutual funds?"

So why am I bothering highlighting this comment when, until now, I didn't highlight the fact that my blog was named a "Top Investment Blog" by an ETF blogger (yes, an ETF blogger of all people)? Well, I, selfishly, want to highlight a blog post that might have helped Guest Dan understand my views on mutual funds and ETFs.

Vanguard is cutting edge. They have a Facebook page, a blog, e-newsletters and now, an iPhone/iPod Touch application. So, if you have an account with Vanguard and you're compelled to view your account online and on the go: "There's an app for that."
