...long-term investor, the up-front A shares are cheapest. Wake Forest economist Edward O'Neal has proved that over a period of more than seven years, no other load structure can outperform A shares. And if you invest $25,000 or more, most load funds will give you a discount on the up-front sales charge--making A shares the best choice even in the short run. Those discounts, which are not available on B or C shares, are called breakpoints...
Gigante won't provide specific figures, but Frias says, measured in sales per square foot, Latino grocery stores outperform traditional supermarkets by 25% in L.A. neighborhoods where the two go head to head.

...what they believe will be significant growth." Some U.K. funds are also sticking to higher-risk shares, rather than moving to lower-risk bonds (and risking being out of the market when equities recover). Says John Birch, secretary to BA's pensions schemes: "Over the long-term, equities will outperform bonds." Other E.U. nations with escalating pension bills are nudging their populations toward private-sector retirement funds. Jana Adler, a German mother of two, has signed up for a private pension scheme, but she's not venturing near the stock market, calling it "too risky." Others are more resolute...
