[R-SIG-Finance] making sense of 100's of funds

[paul sorenson]

Jab,

Thanks for the tip, and hopefully that is something like where I will

Ultimately I want to create some sort of personal investment portfolio
but the learning exercise to get there is also important to me,
including trying techniques that may be less applicable and
understanding why.

cheers
