    I saw it in the DT and thought it was quite irresponsible.   However, I remember the media encouraging people out of corp bond funds into tech funds when they were at around 90% of peak value.    So, not much of a surprise.

    I'd rather take financial advice from the Japanese rock band.
  • Greed is a great way to lose money and anything paying 12% is a greedy play, but there's "one born every minute".
