The List

    The following is a list of 30 mutual funds that we follow. This is not a list of the funds that we think are the "best".  Funds are on this list for various reasons. Some have been owned by the moron for decades, some are owned by family members, some are funds he likes but does not own, some are here as useful benchmarks.

    The list is heavily slanted towards U.S. equity funds.  These are the funds the Moron understands best and prefers. The great majority of these funds has a performance over the past 10-15 years that is ABOVE AVERAGE.  Over time, the Moron hopes to analyze each fund here individually.

    Funds may be added or deleted over time at the sole discretion of the MFM.

    One more time: This is NOT a list of funds that MFM claims will "beat the market" or will have above average performance in the future. MFM may produce such a list in the future, but this is not it.

    Without further ado, here, in alphabetical order, are the 30 funds:
