...because the law is only applicable to mutual funds, said Coates and Ramseyer. The case also sparked an extremely rare disagreement between Easterbrook and Judge Richard A. Posner, who typically vote together, according to Ramseyer. Easterbrook sided with the majority, saying that fee levels should be determined by the market, while Posner—who wrote a dissent—argued that compensation has become excessive and the courts should intervene.

Now nearly 1 in 3 Detroit residents is out of work - and not many of the unemployed have...
...industry has left all of southeastern Michigan dazed and bleeding. And yet the conditions for resetting that economic model couldn't be more favorable. The collapse of the UAW's prohibitive wage scale, coupled with the vast unemployment, is turning what was once the nation's most expensive labor market into one of the cheapest. For the first time since Henry Ford offered $5 a day to the men who assembled the Model T back in 1914, Detroit is open to new industry...
