   THE DIFFERENCE
When we go to a doctor, for example, we would be alarmed if he prescribed a generic drug (mutual fund) or the newest medicine (newest hot-stock) in the market for our specific ailment. Good doctors customize their care to the needs of our body and its ailments. Similarly good financial planning involves a high degree of customization.
