Diversification the best way, if you know what you're doing, to dillute you success rate!

This is very true.

There is a wealth of "experts" on the internet and in financial media all giving their views on the economy and you can bet that if the person giving an opinion is in any way related to a particular fund or investment company, the opinion will almost always lurch into why their fund is best suited for the current market conditions.

I watched a short interview with a chap called Neil Woodford who runs a couple of funds for Invesco Perpetual and he did give a reasonably unbiased view of the market and the economy.

If anyone reads Citywire I find alot of it is either IFAs moaning about regulation or fund managers contradicting each other to promote their fund
