Interesting, but somewhat, old market talk.

This study has an unusual origin, one that underscores just how little is really known about abrupt market swings and their effects on a portfolio's performance.

This can be overcome, it's called educating investors.

To measure the effect of those swings, we looked at two time periods -- 1926-1993 and 1963-1993.

Wrong period. Try 2000 to the present!

2 cents worth, IMHO! ;) Spaf
