I'm swearing off popularity reports. They don't mean much to people who are
happy with their investments, and everybody's really guessing, anyway. What
matters is how well the system works for you. These "who's No. 1" reports
remind me too much of the American election system. Were it not for
popularity polls, we might have a real chance of finding out what
politicians really think. As it is, we only hear what a small sample of
people think about the politicians.
