I've been investing for a few years now and while I'm still a beginner I consider it a hobby. And with all the recent industry scandals I thought it would be interesting to research and expose some of the flaws of mutual funds.

I'm in a journalism masters program and this is my chosen topic for a research methods class. I don't mind using this medium however I'd like to quote you by name - particularly about your investing experiences (the story is not to be published - it is for a grade only). However, I fully understand if you'd rather remain anonymous.

Thanks -
