Should foreign investors, who have helped fund U.S. twin deficits, show weaker demand at the 10-year auction and the trade deficit widens, that may make it easier to sell the dollar.

Investors who had been less aware of mutual fund taxes had a rude awakening in 2000, when many funds had low or negative returns but still paid out large taxable distributions. Many shareholders who, in the past, might have been dismissive about fund taxes were horrified to learn they will be paying taxes on fund investments on which they lost money last year.

We've seen value investors come back in and put those carry positions back on. We're talking about moving rates from zero to 0.1 percent. Maybe we can still fund our trades at that.

Investors who are in an actively managed small-cap fund that has had high returns for several years and has grown in size should expect management to eventually close the fund to new investors. Two examples of funds that did this are Dreyfus Mid Cap Value and Artisan Mid Cap Value , which announced they were closing in early 2002.

Now that the market has had a first quarter that will make pretty big headlines, that will cause a lot of investors to exit cash positions and exit some bond positions and move that money into stocks. Investors don't want to be left out.

His investment in this bank is in a hedge fund. None of the investors know how that money is invested. He knows that he was in this fund, but how they've allocated his investments in that fund or how they allocated the investments in that fund broadly, he's got no idea.

I think it's good news for investors. Investors already pay a management fee to the advisor to run the fund - it might shock investors to know they are paying, say, another 50 basis points for research.

There is big tension when a fund company decides to close a fund, because growing assets is how they make their money. Meanwhile, investors will push for an early close because by the time a fund closes it's usually already too late.

Investors who climbed on the bandwagon hadn't stopped to think that a fund that went up so much last year would lose so much this year.

We were also impressed by what Dodge & Cox Income didn't own, ... The fund is overweight in corporate bonds relative to its benchmark. In 2002, that meant trouble because investors ran from corporate bonds for fear they would get caught holding the next Enron. This fund not only avoided disasters, but it also found enough winners to return nearly 11 percent in 2002. Just as impressive, the fund's returns for the trailing five and 10-year periods rank in the top 10 percent of its category.
