While 14% of funds opened in 2000 were bond funds, they are 33% of new funds this year, says FundFiling.com...
...sounds like a cheap horror flick: you're sitting in this weird-looking chair when suddenly it grabs hold of your forearms and starts kneading them like cookie dough. Relax. Seriously. This is no nightmare. It's the Inada D.1, the ultimate in high-tech massage chairs...
