A reason traditional mutual funds have lost favor is they don't beat market averages consistently, or even match them. There is a reason for this.
I used to invest in Janus Funds, they did a pretty good job overall and I liked their approach, but I got out years ago, I'd guess they still do "OK".
I sometimes wonder how folks can spend a ton of money making a show and not hire some technical expert to help the writers with some of the technical details. Breaking Bad had an odd chemistry thing in year one that they seemed to fix later on.
