nor are there any hard and fast rules regarding specific investment recommendations, the fact is, for the most part the folks that participate in this group tend to refrain from suggesting specific investment securities or management companies.

I personally don't have a problem with recommending or highlighting a specific fund company as a potential investment vehicle, but as a long time poster in this group and as a former licensed broker, if I may suggest that when you do so, you include a disclaimer to the effect;

"Not all investments or funds and their relevant managers investment styles are appropriate for all investors, and your tolerance for risk may differ from the investment style and/or securities offered by this firm. Investors are advised to fully investigate and completely understand the risks involved before purchasing any security."

Fair enough?

Welcome to DU, BTW.
